Review the following extract from an aerospace regulatory compliance audit. Use the explicit context clues within the passage to match each bolded term with its precise synonymous definition.
'The chief engineer's intransigent stance—her absolute refusal to yield on safety protocols—frustrated the project managers. To ameliorate the situation and improve the worsening relations between departments, the director intervened. He mandated that all subsequent schematics must be pellucid, meaning exceptionally clear and straightforward for any technician to read. He warned that any attempt to obfuscate the structural data, deliberately making the results confusing to hide flaws, would lead to immediate dismissal.'

Cevap
Match 'intransigent' with 'Uncompromising or unyielding'; 'ameliorate' with 'To mitigate or make better'; 'pellucid' with 'Crystal clear or easily understood'; and 'obfuscate' with 'To bewilder or render obscure'.
Each bolded vocabulary word in the passage is paired with a specific structural context clue. 'Intransigent' is defined by the appositive 'absolute refusal to yield'. 'Ameliorate' is structurally equated with 'improve'. 'Pellucid' is followed by a direct definition ('meaning exceptionally clear'). Finally, 'obfuscate' is clarified by the descriptive phrase 'making the results confusing'. Matching these built-in clues to the provided definitions yields the exact pairings.
