Zorluk: OrtaMeeting Specific Rhetorical Goals

In 1968, 3M chemist Spencer Silver set out to develop a super-strong adhesive for the aerospace industry. [X] Silver spent years promoting his discovery to colleagues, but it was not until a coworker used it to anchor bookmarks in a hymnal that the Post-it Note was born.

The writer wants to replace the bracketed marker [X] with a sentence that emphasizes both the unexpected outcome of Silver's research and the specific characteristics of his new substance. Which choice best fulfills this goal?

  1. Instead of a powerful glue, he created a weak adhesive that stuck lightly to surfaces and could be easily removed without leaving residue.Cevap
  2. B
    Instead of a powerful glue, he created a weak adhesive, it stuck lightly to surfaces and could be easily removed without leaving residue.
  3. C
    He was disappointed that his adhesive was not strong enough to meet the rigorous demands of aerospace manufacturing.
  4. D
    Although the project failed to yield the intended results, the company supported his efforts to find another use for the low-tack adhesive.

Cevap

The correct option is the sentence stating that instead of a powerful glue, he created a weak adhesive that stuck lightly to surfaces and could be easily removed without leaving residue.
The correct choice successfully establishes the unexpected result of the research (creating a weak adhesive instead of a strong glue) and outlines its physical properties (sticking lightly and being removable without leaving residue).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prompt to determine the exact rhetorical goal.
The goal is to find a sentence that emphasizes the unexpected outcome of the research and lists the specific characteristics of the new substance.
Identifying the target parameters prevents selecting choices that only satisfy one part of the prompt.
2
Check the options for grammatical correctness.
The option containing the phrase 'weak adhesive, it stuck' is grammatically incorrect due to a comma splice.
Any option containing a grammatical error can be automatically disqualified.
3
Evaluate the remaining choices against the rhetorical criteria.
The choice detailing the adhesive's low-tack and residue-free properties satisfies both the unexpected outcome and physical characteristics requirements, while the others focus on corporate support or personal feelings.
This confirms the only option that fulfills all conditions of the rhetorical prompt.
