Zorluk: OrtaAnalyzing Multiple-Meaning Words

The two statements below demonstrate how a single technical term carries distinct definitions across engineering and biology. Which single polysemous word accurately completes both blanks?

Cevap:1. Under heavy operational pressure, the aircraft wing spar experienced severe mechanical 【strain】, resulting in measurable physical deformation.
2. Medical researchers analyzing the viral outbreak isolated a resilient 【strain】 that proved resistant to standard sanitization protocols.

Cevap

strain
The word 'strain' accurately satisfies both sentences: in structural engineering, 'mechanical strain' denotes the physical deformation of a component under load, while in microbiology, a 'strain' refers to a specific genetic variant or lineage of an infectious microorganism.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the mechanical and structural context of the first statement
Determine that the missing word refers to the physical deformation or elongation of a material resulting from applied force.
In mechanics and materials science, deformation caused by applied stress is specifically termed 'strain'.
2
Analyze the biological and medical context of the second statement
Determine that the missing word designates a specific genetic variant, subtype, or lineage of a microorganism.
In virology and microbiology, distinct genetic lineages of an infectious agent are classified as 'strains'.
3
Identify the polysemous word that satisfies both contextual requirements
The word 'strain' functions accurately in both structural physics and microbiological taxonomy.
A valid polysemous solution must be grammatically, semantically, and technically precise in both domains.
