relative terms
irresponsible language

Answer 1

The correct answer is Emotive language. I just finished this question on my Essentials of Communication Exam.

Answer: Emotive language

This is an example of emotive language. In this example, Jenna is displaying a negative emotion towards the situation. She describes Andrea helping her mother out as being "her personal slave." The use of the phrase demonstrates Jenna's beliefs and feelings.
