  4. D

Cevap

is advisable or beneficial
The correct answer is 'is advisable or beneficial' because the sentence refers to the Spanish verb 'convenir,' which describes an action that is suitable, useful, or recommended. In this context, diversifying portfolios early is presented as a beneficial strategy to mitigate risk, rather than a physical meeting or a strict obligation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the sentence to understand the function of the word 'convenes' in relation to diversifying portfolios.
The word describes a recommended action ('to diversify portfolios') that helps young investors 'mitigate risk.'
Understanding the context helps determine if the word implies a recommendation, an obligation, or a physical action.
2
Identify the Spanish false cognate origin of the word 'convenes' in this translation-style context.
The English word 'convenes' is a false friend to the Spanish verb 'convenir,' which translates to 'to be advisable' or 'to be convenient' in this structure.
Recognizing the false cognate prevents selecting the literal English definition of 'convene' (to meet or assemble).
3
Evaluate the choices to find the one that matches the contextual meaning of 'advisable' or 'beneficial.'
The option stating 'is advisable or beneficial' is the only one that fits the grammatical structure and the pedagogical context.
This confirms the correct option based on semantic and syntactic fit within the sentence.
