This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone.

The line of cars followed behind two unmarked military vehicles. One was a supply van and the other was a snow-white ambulance. It was an unmarked Level 4 biocontainment ambulance. Inside it there were an Army medical-evacuation team and a biocontainment pod known as a bubble stretcher. This was a combat medical stretcher enclosed by a biocontainment bubble made of clear plastic. If someone was bitten by a monkey, he would go into the bubble, and from there he would be transferred to the Slammer. The supply van was a white unmarked refrigerator truck. This was to hold dead monkeys and tubes of blood.

Let's take a look at some of the jargon used in the excerpt:"Army medical-evacuation team and a biocontainment pod known as a bubble stretcher;" " combat medical stretcher enclosed by a biocontainment bubble."

The words used above are not the type of words we use in everyday life and interactions. That is what makes them jargon - belonging to a specific field or area. By employing those words, the author makes the text sound authentic and serious, as if he were carefully letting us into this field we wouldn't normally have access to. This also conveys the feeling that the author is indeed a knowledgeable person when it comes to this particular subject.
