Difficulty: MediumDomain-Specific and Technical Vocabulary

A Spanish-language user guide for an automated drip irrigation system contains the following instruction:

"Para optimizar el rendimiento del sistema de riego por goteo, el usuario debe ajustar el caudalímetro según las necesidades hídricas del cultivo. En caso de detectar una anomalía en la presión, se debe revisar la electroválvula de purga para descartar cualquier obturación por sedimentos en el ramal principal."

Based on this text, what does the technical term "obturación" mean, and what action does it prompt?

  1. A blockage or clogging, prompting the user to check the purge solenoid valve.Answer
  2. B
    The extraction or collection of particles, prompting the user to gather sediment samples from the main pipe.
  3. C
    A water purification process, prompting the user to let the system filter out sediment naturally.
  4. D
    A change in water volume, prompting the user to recalibrate the flow meter.

Answer

A blockage or clogging, prompting the user to check the purge solenoid valve.
The term 'obturación' means a blockage or clogging. In the context of the guide, if a pressure anomaly is detected, the user is instructed to inspect the purge solenoid valve to clear or rule out any clogging caused by sediment. This directly supports the definition of an obstruction requiring a specific valve check.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the word 'obturación' within the troubleshooting context of the passage.
The text reads: 'descartar cualquier obturación por sedimentos' (rule out any 'obturación' by sediment).
This establishes the contextual environment of the technical vocabulary word.
2
Identify the troubleshooting command associated with this condition.
If there is a pressure anomaly, the user must check the purge solenoid valve ('electroválvula de purga') to rule out the 'obturación'.
The required response (checking a purge valve to clear the issue) points to the term describing a physical obstruction or clog.
3
Select the option that correctly translates the term and matches the directed action.
'Obturación' means blockage or clogging, and the action is to inspect the purge valve.
This matches the literal definition and the direct instruction in the Spanish text.

Key Concept
