Passage Excerpt:

In the summer of 1967, postgraduate student Jocelyn Bell Burnell [1] from a new radio telescope she had helped build. Among the miles of data, she noticed a strange "scruff"—a series of repeating radio pulses that occurred every 1.33 seconds. Although some of her colleagues initially wondered if the signals came from an extraterrestrial civilization, Bell Burnell and her advisor soon realized they had discovered a rapidly spinning neutron star, later named a pulsar.

Which choice most effectively emphasizes the tedious, labor-intensive nature of Bell Burnell's work in analyzing the telescope's output?

  1. manually scanned miles of paper printoutsCevap
  2. B
    reviewed the records of signals
  3. C
    looked at the results of the research
  4. D
    scrutinized the paper charts, that were produced,

Cevap

manually scanned miles of paper printouts
The correct option, which mentions manually scanning miles of paper printouts, is the only choice that emphasizes both the hands-on labor ('manually') and the tedious, repetitive volume of the task ('miles of paper printouts') while remaining grammatically correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prompt's rhetorical goal.
The goal is to emphasize the tedious and labor-intensive nature of Bell Burnell's data analysis.
Identifying the target criteria allows for systematic evaluation of each option.
2
Evaluate the choices for grammatical correctness and alignment with the prompt's criteria.
Scanning miles of paper printouts manually implies a high volume of work and physical effort, directly matching the prompt's focus. General descriptions of reviewing records or results do not capture this intensity, and placing a comma before a restrictive clause is grammatically incorrect.
Eliminating grammatically incorrect choices and options that do not meet the rhetorical goal leads to the correct answer.
