Zorluk: KolayEvaluating Relevance for Adding or Deleting Content

In nineteenth-century printing shops, typesetters hand-assembled individual metal letters to form words. To save time when printing frequently used phrases, workers cast entire phrases as single, solid plates of metal. This printing plate was called a *cliché*, a word mimicking the clicking sound made during the plate-making process. Over time, the word shifted from referring to the metal plate to describing the overused, unoriginal phrases printed by it. Today, most printing presses are computerized and no longer use physical plates.

Should the writer keep or delete the underlined sentence?

  1. A
    Kept, because it provides essential context about how modern printing technology works.
  2. B
    Kept, because it supports the main idea that printing was a laborious process in the nineteenth century.
  3. C
    Deleted, because it contradicts the paragraph's description of how early typesetters formed words.
  4. Deleted, because it interrupts the paragraph's discussion of the etymology and history of the word 'cliché'.Cevap

Cevap

The correct answer is the option stating that the sentence should be deleted because it interrupts the paragraph's discussion of the etymology and history of the word 'cliché'.
The correct answer is the option stating that the sentence should be deleted because it interrupts the paragraph's discussion of the etymology and history of the word 'cliché'. The paragraph is specifically focused on how the word 'cliché' came to be, starting from a physical object in nineteenth-century print shops. Discussing modern computerized printing presses shifts the focus away from this historical etymology.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the main focus of the paragraph.
The paragraph describes the nineteenth-century origins of the word 'cliché' and how its meaning shifted over time from a physical printing plate to an overused phrase.
Understanding the core topic of the paragraph is necessary to evaluate if any information is relevant or irrelevant.
2
Analyze the purpose and content of the underlined sentence.
The underlined sentence describes modern computerized printing presses.
This helps determine if the sentence contributes to the main focus or distracts from it.
3
Decide whether to keep or delete the sentence and select the option with the correct justification.
The sentence should be deleted because modern computerized printing is irrelevant to the etymological history of 'cliché'. The correct choice is the option that identifies this interruption of focus.
Aligning the correct decision (delete) with the accurate rhetorical reasoning yields the final answer.
