Explanation:

Bypassing occurs when people use the same word but attach different meanings to it. Here, Maggie and Sydney had different understandings of the word "late", leading to confusion. Polarization refers to extreme positions in a debate or issue. Neologism is the creation of a new word or expression. Objective language is neutral and factual - this is not related to objective language.

Answer:

C. bypassing
