Cevap

The target word 'audible' matches 'Able to be heard', 'explicit' matches 'Directly and clearly stated', 'defective' matches 'Faulty or broken', and 'abundant' matches 'Plentiful or existing in large quantities'.
Each sentence incorporates an explicit synonym context clue: 'audible' is directly defined by the dash restatement 'loud and clear enough to be heard'; 'explicit' is defined by the appositive 'or clearly and directly stated'; 'defective' is clarified by the phrase 'a faulty unit'; and 'abundant' is explained by 'meaning plentiful in supply'. Matching these phrases directly yields the correct definitions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Examine the punctuation and clue words in each sentence to locate explicit restatements or definitions.
Identified dash restatement 'loud and clear enough to be heard', comma appositive 'or clearly and directly stated', descriptive phrase 'a faulty unit', and explanatory phrase 'meaning plentiful in supply'.
Authors use punctuation such as dashes, commas, and signal words to define unfamiliar or formal vocabulary within the same sentence.
2
Pair each target vocabulary word with its corresponding restatement definition.
'audible' pairs with 'Able to be heard'; 'explicit' pairs with 'Directly and clearly stated'; 'defective' pairs with 'Faulty or broken'; 'abundant' pairs with 'Plentiful or existing in large quantities'.
Matching the direct contextual explanation confirms the correct synonym for each target word.
