Cevap

The bolded words match their synonyms as follows: 'dormant' matches 'Inactive', 'flawed' matches 'Defective', 'systematic' matches 'Orderly', and 'impede' matches 'Hinder'.
Each target word is paired with its precise contextual synonym deduced directly from textual clues: 'dormant' is shown to mean 'Inactive' by the generator ceasing operation after fuel depletion; 'flawed' is shown to mean 'Defective' through the presence of a structural fracture; 'systematic' is defined as 'Orderly' through the contrast with haphazard guessing and the sequential checking process; and 'impede' is defined as 'Hinder' by the resulting deceleration of the convoy.
