I am preparing for IELTS. This paragraph is from a book called Cambridge Practice Tests for IELTS. However, I simply can not find the correct answer. I have the answer key, but it does not help me understand it because I think that my answer is also correct.
What do you think? Which title is suitable for the text? And Why?
For the first time, dictionary publishers are incorporating real, spoken English into their data. It gives lexicographers (people who write dictionaries) access to a more vibrant, up-to-date vernacular language which has never really been studied before. In one project, 150 volunteers each agreed to discreetly tie a Walkman recorder to their waist and leave it running for anything up to two weeks. Every conversation they had was recorded. When the data was collected, the length of tapes was 35 times the depth of the Atlantic Ocean. Teams of audio typists transcribed the tapes to produce a computerised database of ten million words.
Here are the titles;
A) New Method of Research
B) Non-Verbal Content
C) The First Study of Spoken Language
D) New Phrases Enter Dictionary
