Answer 1

Introduction- The term technical writing belongs to a critical writing method in which a person uses technical terms, statistics, data analysis, and futuristic technologies and inventions.

They are able to understand the language using by me in technical writing, actually, technical writing targets a limited audience due to its area and terminology but it supports research ideas, hypotheses and wide array of knowledge.
