Cevap

Impartial
The word 'dispassionate' combines the Latin prefix 'dis-' (meaning 'away from' or 'free from') with the base 'passion' and adjective suffix '-ate'. Together, these morphological elements define something that is not influenced by strong emotion or prejudice, which makes 'impartial' the exact synonym.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Break down the target word into its constituent morphological parts.
The word consists of the prefix dis- (meaning 'apart', 'not', or 'free from'), the base word passion (strong emotion or bias), and the suffix -ate (forming an adjective).
Morphological segmentation reveals how the affixes modify the base meaning.
2
Synthesize the affix meanings to deduce the literal definition.
Dispassionate describes an attitude or evaluation characterized by being free from personal passion, bias, or emotional involvement.
Combining 'free from' with 'passion' denotes emotional detachment and objectivity.
3
Match the synthesized definition to the closest synonym among the choices.
The term impartial directly corresponds to being objective and free from prejudice or emotional bias.
Both terms describe neutrality and fair judgment without personal favoritism.
