Zorluk: OrtaStylistic Appropriateness

In 1947, computer pioneer Grace Hopper was working on the Harvard Mark II computer when her team encountered a mysterious system failure. Upon investigating the hardware, they discovered a moth trapped in a relay, impeding the electrical signals. Hopper taped the insect into the logbook, labeling it the 'first actual case of bug being found.' Throughout her career, Hopper remained a trailblazer, continuously seeking new ways to make technology accessible. She believed that programming languages should be written in English rather than machine code. Hopper's work revolutionized the programming landscape, enabling developers to write code using English-like commands instead of binary numbers. This innovation meant that program design was no longer confined to mathematical specialists, allowing regular folks to construct software on their own. Ultimately, this breakthrough laid the foundation for modern programming languages.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the tone and style of the surrounding passage.
The passage uses an informative, objective, and professional historical tone.
Establishing the tone of the passage helps identify whether a candidate choice matches the register or creates a stylistic clash.
2
Evaluate the underlined original phrase for stylistic fit.
The original phrase containing 'regular folks' and 'on their own' is too informal and conversational for a biographical text.
Identifying that the original text has a tone clash indicates that 'NO CHANGE' is not the correct choice.
3
Evaluate the remaining options to select the one that is concise, precise, and matches the established register.
The option beginning with 'permitting individuals' is redundant and wordy. The option beginning with 'empowering a broader' is overly inflated and pretentious. The option beginning with 'allowing a wider' is concise, direct, and matches the tone.
Eliminating options that introduce wordiness, redundancy, or inappropriate tone registers leaves the correct, stylistically appropriate answer.
