Zorluk: OrtaUsing Word Morphology (Roots and Affixes) in Context

Based on the morphological breakdown of the target word and the surrounding context clues, what specific words or phrases best complete each blank in the passage below?

Cevap:During routine aircraft weatherization, ground technicians applied a specialized hydrophobic sealant across the fuselage optical sensors. Derived from the Greek root *hydro-* (meaning water) and the affix *-phobic* (meaning fearing or repelling), this protective compound functions to 【repel】 moisture, thereby ensuring that the diagnostic camera lenses remain 【clear】 during heavy precipitation.

Cevap

Blank 1: repel (or resist / shed); Blank 2: clear (or dry / unobstructed)
Morphological analysis shows that 'hydro-' refers to water and '-phobic' refers to repelling. In the context of maintaining optical sensors during flight operations in rain, the sealant serves to repel or shed water, which keeps the sensor lenses clear, dry, and fully operational.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the morphemes within the target word 'hydrophobic'.
The root 'hydro-' means water, and the suffix '-phobic' means fearing, repelling, or resisting.
Breaking down the word into its root and suffix establishes the fundamental definition of repelling water.
2
Examine the technical context of aircraft maintenance and sensor operation.
The purpose of treating camera sensors before heavy precipitation is to prevent water accumulation so vision remains clear.
Contextual clues about diagnostic camera lenses and precipitation confirm the functional outcome of applying a water-repelling sealant.
3
Combine the morphological meaning and contextual requirements to fill the blanks.
The sealant acts to 'repel' moisture so that the lenses stay 'clear' or 'dry'.
Both blanks must logically complete the grammatical and semantic structure of the passage.
