Zorluk: KolayMeeting Specific Rhetorical Goals

Passage Excerpt:

In 1931, engineering draftsman Harry Beck designed a new map for the London Underground. Rather than drawing the routes to geographic scale, Beck created a diagrammatic layout that resembled an electrical circuit, prioritizing readability over physical distance.

Which choice provides the most direct and specific explanation of how Beck's map design benefited passengers?

  1. passengers could easily plan their journeys without being confused by overlapping, geographically accurate lines.Cevap
  2. B
    the map design was initially rejected by the Underground's publicity department because it was too radical.
  3. C
    passengers will find the diagrammatic format highly intuitive, which helped them navigate the stations.
  4. D
    commuters loved the simplified grid, they were able to read the map in seconds.

Cevap

passengers could easily plan their journeys without being confused by overlapping, geographically accurate lines.
The correct option directly addresses the prompt's requirement by explaining that the new map design helped passengers plan their journeys more easily and avoided the confusion caused by geographic scale lines. It is also grammatically correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prompt to identify the specific rhetorical goal.
The goal is to find a choice that provides a direct and specific explanation of how Beck's map design benefited passengers.
This establishes the criteria that the correct answer must meet.
2
Evaluate the grammatical correctness of the choices.
The option containing 'will find' and 'helped' has an incorrect tense shift, and the option containing 'commuters loved the simplified grid, they were...' contains a comma splice. Both are grammatically incorrect.
Eliminating grammatically incorrect choices narrows down the options.
3
Evaluate the remaining grammatically correct choices against the rhetorical goal.
The option concerning the publicity department's rejection fails the rhetorical criteria because it does not discuss a passenger benefit. The option stating that passengers could easily plan journeys directly explains the functional benefit of the map design.
This confirms the correct choice that satisfies both grammar rules and the prompt's rhetorical goal.
