Zorluk: OrtaStylistic Appropriateness

Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist of the eighteenth century, revolutionized the biological sciences by creating a standardized system for naming organisms. Before Linnaeus, scientific names were long, descriptive Latin phrases that were difficult to remember and use. Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature, assigning each species a two-word Latin name consisting of its genus and specific epithet. While some contemporary scholars argued that this system was too simplistic, it quickly gained widespread acceptance because it was super easy for scientists to share their findings. Today, this elegant naming system remains the global standard for biological classification.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context and tone of the passage.
The passage is a formal, historical biography and scientific explanation, establishing an academic and objective tone.
Stylistic appropriateness requires matching the tone of the surrounding text.
2
Evaluate the underlined phrase and the options for tone, conciseness, and precision.
The original phrase contains the colloquialism 'super easy'. One option is overly wordy and redundant ('collaborate together'), while another is overly complex and pretentious ('facilitated the expeditious dissemination'). Only the option focusing on simplifying the process of sharing discoveries is precise, formal, and concise.
Eliminating inappropriate tone registers and wordiness leads to the best stylistic choice.
