Read the passage given below carefully and then answer the questions given below the passage. 

As a medium of literary expression, the common language is inadequate. Like the man of letters, the scientist finds it necessary to ''to give purer a sense to the words of tribe''. But the purity of scientific language is not the same as the purity of literary language.

The aim of the scientist is to say only one thing at the same time and to say it unambiguously and with the greatest possible clarity. To achieve this, he simplifies and jargonizes. In other words, he uses the vocabulary and syntax of common speech in such a way that each phrase is susceptible to only one interpretation; and too imprecise for his purpose he invites a new technical language, or jargon especially designed to express the limited meaning with which he is professionally concerned. At its most perfectly pure form, scientific language ceases the matter of words and terms into mathematics.

The literary artist purifies the language of the tribe in a radically different way. The scientist's aim, as we have seen, is to say one thing, and only one thing at a time. This, most emphatically, is not the aim of the literary artist. Human life is lived simultaneously on many levels and has many meanings. Literature is a device for reporting the multifarious facts and expressing their various significances. When the literary artist undertakes to give a pure sense to the words of his tribe, he does so with the express purpose of creating a language capable of conveying, not single meaning of some particular science, but the multiple significance of the human experience, its most private as well as on its more public levels.

The word 'unambiguously' in the given passage can be best replaced by
1). Vaguely
2). Dubiously
3). Explicitly
4). Presently
