Read the sentence and determine the most accurate word to fill the blank based on context clues and morphological root analysis. Which vocabulary word correctly completes the sentence?

Cevap:Following an exhaustive review of the audit logs, the investigative committee produced records that served to 【exculpate】 the lead administrator of any intentional wrongdoing.

Cevap

exculpate (or precise synonyms such as exonerate, absolve, vindicate, or acquit)
The sentence requires a verb meaning to clear from alleged guilt or fault. The word 'exculpate' combines the Latin prefix 'ex-' (away from, out of) with the root 'culpa' (blame, fault). Therefore, 'exculpate'—as well as exact standard synonyms such as 'exonerate', 'absolve', 'vindicate', and 'acquit'—correctly completes the sentence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the contextual clues within the sentence.
The sentence discusses an investigation finding records that clear an administrator of blame or suspected wrongdoing.
The phrases 'exhaustive review' and 'of any intentional wrongdoing' signal an action that removes guilt or clears someone of formal charges.
2
Perform root word analysis to determine the precise vocabulary term.
The Latin root 'culp' means fault or blame, combined with the prefix 'ex-' (meaning out of or away from), forming 'exculpate' (to free from blame).
Understanding the base root 'culp' directly links the concept of fault/blame to the necessary verb form required in this sentence.
