Lt. Charles just joined the air force. She notices that the people she works with seem to have a way of speaking that is different than other groups she has observed. They use certain words that they all seem to understand. They are tight knit. She starts to use such language in an attempt to become closer to the group. What best explains her actions?

What best explains her actions is convergence.

Explanation:

In communication, convergence refers to adaptations one does to one's speech in order to identify oneself with another individual or with a group. For instance, it is common for couples to develop a way of talking to each other that is specific, that uses certain words, which identifies them as a couple.

That is what Lt. Charles is doing. She is changing her speech in order to be seen as part of the group.
