Zorluk: KolayWord Precision and Clarity

The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, was a triumph of nineteenth-century engineering. For years, commuters had relied on slow ferries to cross the East River between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The new bridge dramatically sliced the travel time, allowing thousands of people to cross safely each day.

Which choice most precisely and clearly completes the sentence?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. reducedCevap
  3. C
    chopped
  4. D
    severed

Cevap

The option containing the word 'reduced' is the correct choice because it is precise, clear, and fits the formal tone of the historical passage.
The word 'reduced' is correct because it precisely and clearly describes a decrease in travel time while maintaining the formal, historical tone of the passage.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the sentence and the overall tone of the passage.
The passage describes the history of the Brooklyn Bridge in a formal, informative tone. The sentence describes the bridge's effect on travel time.
Understanding the context and tone helps narrow down the appropriate vocabulary.
2
Evaluate the precision and appropriateness of each option.
The original word 'sliced' and the option 'chopped' are too casual. The option 'severed' means to cut off completely, which does not fit. Only 'reduced' is both grammatically correct and stylistically appropriate.
This identifies the word that is both contextually precise and maintains tone consistency.
