Read the sentence below and evaluate the required word parts. Which vocabulary word synthesized from the Greek prefix ana- (meaning 'backward' or 'against'), the base chron (meaning 'time'), and the suffix -ism (indicating a state or condition) accurately completes the statement?

Aşağıdaki boşlukları doldurun

The museum archivist pointed out that displaying an internal combustion engine in an exhibit depicting the eighteenth century was a glaring that compromised historical accuracy.
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

anachronism
The term 'anachronism' is formed from the Greek prefix 'ana-' (backwards, against), the root 'chron' (time), and the noun-forming suffix '-ism'. In context, placing an engine in an eighteenth-century setting is a chronological error, which precisely defines an anachronism.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prefix and root components provided in the prompt.
The prefix 'ana-' signifies 'against', 'back', or 'backward', while the Greek root 'chron' represents 'time'.
Deconstructing the morphological affixes and base roots isolates the foundational semantic meaning.
2
Combine the prefix, root, and suffix to form the target derived noun.
Combining 'ana-' + 'chron' + '-ism' yields 'anachronism', which refers to a person, thing, or event placed chronologically out of its proper historical era.
The suffix '-ism' creates an abstract noun denoting the specific state or condition of temporal misplacement.
3
Verify the term in the context of the sentence frame.
An eighteenth-century setting containing modern technology represents an error in chronology, fitting 'anachronism' precisely.
Contextual verification ensures the part of speech and definition seamlessly complete the blank.

A construction crew has a spool containing exactly 14\frac{1}{4} mile of underground cable. They use 12023120 \frac{2}{3} yards of the cable for their first trench and 412412 feet 88 inches of the cable for their second trench. How much cable remains on the spool?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 545 feet 4 inches

Cevap

545 feet 4 inches
To find the remaining cable, all measurements must be converted to a common unit. First, find the total cable in feet: since 1 mile=5280 feet1 \text{ mile} = 5280 \text{ feet}, 14 mile=1320 feet\frac{1}{4} \text{ mile} = 1320 \text{ feet}. Next, convert the first trench length to feet: 12023 yards×3 feet/yard=362 feet120 \frac{2}{3} \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 362 \text{ feet}. The second trench is 412 feet 8 inches412 \text{ feet } 8 \text{ inches}. The total used is 362 feet+412 feet 8 inches=774 feet 8 inches362 \text{ feet} + 412 \text{ feet } 8 \text{ inches} = 774 \text{ feet } 8 \text{ inches}. Finally, subtract this from the starting amount. Borrowing 1 foot1 \text{ foot} (12 inches12 \text{ inches}) from 1320 feet1320 \text{ feet} gives 1319 feet 12 inches1319 \text{ feet } 12 \text{ inches}. Subtracting the used cable gives 1319−774=545 feet1319 - 774 = 545 \text{ feet} and 12−8=4 inches12 - 8 = 4 \text{ inches}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the total cable length from miles to feet.
14×5280=1320\frac{1}{4} \times 5280 = 1320 feet.
Standardizing all measurements to the same base unit (feet) is required before adding or subtracting.
2
Convert the length used for the first trench from yards to feet.
12023×3=362120 \frac{2}{3} \times 3 = 362 feet.
There are 3 feet in a yard, so multiplying the mixed fraction by 3 gives the exact length in feet.
3
Calculate the total amount of cable used for both trenches.
362 feet+412 feet 8 inches=774 feet 8 inches362 \text{ feet} + 412 \text{ feet } 8 \text{ inches} = 774 \text{ feet } 8 \text{ inches}.
Adding the individual segments provides the total length that must be subtracted from the spool.
4
Subtract the total used cable from the total spool length.
1320 feet−774 feet 8 inches=545 feet 4 inches1320 \text{ feet} - 774 \text{ feet } 8 \text{ inches} = 545 \text{ feet } 4 \text{ inches}.
To subtract the 8 inches, borrow 1 foot (12 inches) from 1320 feet to make it 1319 feet 12 inches. Subtracting yields 1319−774=5451319 - 774 = 545 feet and 12−8=412 - 8 = 4 inches.

A base security system requires a full diagnostic scan that takes exactly 3.43.4 hours to complete. What is the total duration of this diagnostic scan in minutes?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 204204

Cevap

The total duration of the diagnostic scan is 204204 minutes.
To convert decimal hours to minutes, multiply the total number of hours by 6060. Multiplying 3.43.4 by 6060 equals exactly 204204 minutes. Alternatively, this can be calculated by breaking the time into whole and fractional parts: 33 whole hours (3×60=1803 \times 60 = 180 minutes) plus 0.40.4 of an hour (0.4×60=240.4 \times 60 = 24 minutes). Adding these parts together yields 180+24=204180 + 24 = 204 minutes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the conversion factor for hours to minutes.
11 hour = 6060 minutes.
Time units operate on a base-60 system for minutes and hours, not base-10.
2
Multiply the given time in hours by the conversion factor.
3.4×60=2043.4 \times 60 = 204 minutes.
This calculation converts the entire decimal value into total minutes.

Cevap: 1130 hours

Cevap

1130 hours
The correct arrival time is found by determining the time for each flight leg individually (Distance / Rate), ensuring decimal hours are correctly converted into minutes, adding the on-scene time, and then adding that total elapsed duration to the initial departure time.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the duration of the outbound flight.
0.750.75 hours (or 4545 minutes)
Using the formula Time=DistanceRate\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}}, the outbound flight takes 120160=0.75\frac{120}{160} = 0.75 hours. To convert to minutes, multiply by 6060: 0.75×60=450.75 \times 60 = 45 minutes.
2
Calculate the duration of the return flight.
11 hour (or 6060 minutes)
The helicopter returns along the same 120120-mile route at a speed of 120120 mph. 120120=1\frac{120}{120} = 1 hour.
3
Calculate the total mission duration.
135135 minutes (or 22 hours 1515 minutes)
Sum the three segments of the mission: Outbound (4545 minutes) + On-scene (3030 minutes) + Return (6060 minutes) = 135135 minutes total.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: reroute

Cevap

The word 'reroute' is the contextual synonym for 'divert'.
The sentence provides a cause-and-effect context clue: because the primary runway is inaccessible, planes must be redirected to an alternate landing site. Therefore, 'reroute' is the exact contextual synonym.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the target word and analyze the surrounding context.
The target word is 'divert', used in a scenario where a primary runway is blocked and aircraft are directed toward an alternate airfield.
Context clues provide the essential semantic frame for determining the specific meaning intended in the sentence.
2
Analyze the cause-and-effect relationship established by the conjunction 'Because'.
The blockage of the primary landing site forces an action that alters the navigational destination of the aircraft.
Recognizing that the aircraft cannot use the original path indicates that 'divert' describes changing their course.
3
Select the synonym that matches redirecting something along a new course.
'Reroute' precisely means to direct along an alternative route, fitting the sentence seamlessly.
Substituting 'reroute' into the original sentence preserves the exact meaning without altering the syntax or intended message.
