According to me, the language of an article plays a crucial role in engaging the readers.However, on the contrary, I think the language used needs to be professional as well as simple inorder to connect with the readers. In the case of the given article, the language used by the authoris extremely simple that hampers the quality of the article to a certain extent.

The first part of the article highlights themedieval thinking of vaccines and genetically modified crops whereas the second part consists ofthe scientific aspect of the vaccines and genetically modified crops that people developed in the21st century due to exposure to education. An article needs to appropriately referenced in order to determine the authenticity of thedata and information used. According to me, appropriate sourcing provides credibility to theresearch.
