Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

counterproductive
The word 'counterproductive' correctly completes the sentence. The prefix 'counter-' originates from Latin (contra) meaning 'against' or 'opposite.' When affixed to 'productive,' it precisely describes an action that hinders rather than helps progress, matching the contextual clue that the action 'actually reduced' overall productivity.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the sentence
The sentence describes an action intended to increase output that instead resulted in the opposite outcome (reduced productivity).
Contextual clues indicate an oppositional or self-defeating result rather than simple inactivity.
2
Apply the appropriate prefix meaning 'against' or 'opposite' to the base word 'productive'
Combining the prefix 'counter-' with 'productive' yields 'counterproductive'.
The prefix 'counter-' specifically denotes opposition, contrary direction, or producing the reverse of the desired effect.

Isolate the base root and suffix for each term.
Identify 'defend' + '-ive', 'serene' + '-ity', 'botany' + '-al', and 'dominate' + '-ance'.
Deconstructing words into morphemes determines which suffix was applied to alter syntactic function.
2
Determine the resulting grammatical category (part of speech) for each derivative.
'Defensive' and 'botanical' are adjectives; 'serenity' and 'dominance' are nouns.
Suffixes categorize whether the derived word functions as a modifier (adjective) or an entity/state (noun).
3
Pair each word with its corresponding morphological definition based on suffix semantic function.
Match each noun and adjective to its exact semantic derivation.
Aligning suffix meanings distinguishes between abstract qualities ('-ity'), active states ('-ance'), relationships ('-al'), and functional tendencies ('-ive').

Read the three technical field maintenance excerpts below regarding tactical engine systems. Match each passage to its explicitly stated main idea.

Soldaki öğeye tıklayın, sonra eşleşen sağdaki öğeye tıklayın

Öğeler

Passage 1: Centrifugal oil spinners are essential for removing microscopic soot particles that bypass standard pleated filters in heavy diesel engines. While conventional cellulose filters trap larger metallic shavings and debris, fine carbon particulates under five microns circulate freely, causing gradual abrasive wear on bearing journals. The spinner uses rotational velocity powered by engine oil pressure to fling these microscopic contaminants against an outer removable canister, thereby preserving lubricant integrity and extending engine operational life.
Passage 2: Tactical vehicles operating in sub-zero environments rely on glow plugs to heat the engine combustion chambers prior to cranking. Extreme cold causes diesel fuel to atomize poorly and prevents the intake air charge from reaching the auto-ignition temperature during piston compression. By energizing a high-resistance heating element inside each cylinder head, glow plugs ensure rapid fuel ignition, reduce electrical starter motor strain, and prevent unburned fuel from washing protective oil off cylinder walls during winter missions.
Passage 3: Positive crankcase ventilation systems prevent dangerous internal pressure buildup and seal blowouts by continuously routing blow-by gases back into the engine intake manifold. During normal combustion, a fraction of high-pressure combustion vapor inevitably slips past the piston rings into the lower engine crankcase. Without a dedicated continuous pathway to evacuate these pressurized vapors, corrosive moisture condenses inside the oil pan and crankcase oil seals rupture under accumulated internal pressure.

Read the passage below:

Commercial kitchens rely on wet chemical extinguishing systems to manage high-temperature grease fires. When cooking oil overheats and catches fire, the system discharges an alkaline chemical solution over the appliances. Contact between the alkaline agent and hot fatty acids triggers saponification, producing a thick, soapy foam across the surface. This crust blocks atmospheric oxygen and seals in combustible vapors to extinguish the flames. At the same time, water in the solution evaporates, absorbing thermal energy and cooling the oil below its reflash threshold.

Match each passage claim on the left with its accurate paraphrased restatement on the right.

In pneumatic maintenance facilities, compressed air lines must be equipped with moisture separators and desiccant filters before reaching air-powered tools. As ambient air is compressed, water vapor condenses into liquid droplets due to changes in pressure and temperature. If this accumulated moisture enters pneumatic tools, it washes away internal lubricating oils, leading to rapid component wear, corrosion, and premature tool failure. By removing condensed water at designated drop points along the distribution line, technicians ensure consistent tool performance and extend the operational lifespan of pneumatic equipment.

If xx and yy are both negative integers, the value of x−yx - y must also be a negative integer.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

False
The statement is false. When evaluating x−yx - y with negative integers, the operation simplifies to adding a positive number. If the magnitude of yy is larger than the magnitude of xx, the result is positive. For instance, if x=−1x = -1 and y=−5y = -5, then −1−(−5)=4-1 - (-5) = 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the expression x−yx - y given that both variables represent negative integers.
Since yy is negative, subtracting yy is identical to adding the absolute value of yy. The expression becomes x+∣y∣x + |y|.
Understanding how double negatives simplify is essential for evaluating integer properties.
2
Test the statement using a counterexample where yy is further left on the number line than xx.
Assume x=−3x = -3 and y=−10y = -10. Substitute these integers into the original expression: −3−(−10)-3 - (-10).
A universally phrased statement containing the word 'must' can be entirely disproven with just a single counterexample.
3
Evaluate the chosen counterexample.
−3−(−10)=−3+10=7-3 - (-10) = -3 + 10 = 7. Because 77 is a positive integer, the expression does not always yield a negative result.
The positive outcome proves the initial statement is definitively false.

False
The statement is false because passive immunity involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from an outside source rather than an active immune response by the recipient. As a result, the recipient's immune system does not generate memory B cells, and the resulting protection lasts only as long as the transferred antibodies survive in circulation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the biological mechanism and category of immunity described in the statement.
Maternal antibody transfer via the placenta or breast milk represents naturally acquired passive immunity.
Classifying the specific type of immunity establishes whether the host's own immune system is actively engaged.
2
Analyze whether passive immunity stimulates the host to generate immunological memory.
Passive immunity introduces pre-synthesized antibodies that neutralize pathogens but degrade over time without activating B-cell proliferation into memory cells.
Immunological memory requires active antigen presentation and clonal expansion, which only occurs in active immunity.
3
Evaluate the veracity of the stem statement against immunological principles.
The claim that passive immunity produces long-term memory B cells is scientifically inaccurate.
Because passive immunity confers only transient protection without establishing immunological memory, the statement is false.
