Cevap

To cause to conform to a uniform model or rule
The verb "standardize" is formed by appending the verb suffix "-ize" (meaning "to cause to be" or "to conform to") to the base word "standard." In context, the supervisor makes the equipment uniform across all mechanics, matching the meaning of causing items to conform to a uniform model.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the base word and morphological affix.
The word consists of the base noun/adjective "standard" and the derivational verb suffix "-ize."
Identifying the constituent morphemes clarifies the syntactic role and primary semantic meaning of the word.
2
Apply the semantic function of the verb suffix "-ize".
The suffix "-ize" denotes "to make," "to convert into," or "to bring into conformity with."
The suffix changes the base noun/adjective into an action verb meaning to make something conform to a standard.
3
Evaluate the context sentence to confirm the definition.
Providing "identical equipment" to every mechanic confirms that the supervisor is making the kits uniform.
Contextual clues support the morphological deduction.

Anahtar Kavram
