Cevap

The first sentence pairs with 'Done routinely with minimal effort or care', the second sentence pairs with 'Harshly and bitterly critical', the third sentence pairs with 'Abruptly concise and sparing of words', and the fourth sentence pairs with 'Cheerfully confident and optimistic'.

Each statement provides distinct behavioral and emotional markers: indifference during inspection defines 'perfunctory' as a careless routine; emphasizing gross negligence defines 'scathing' as harsh criticism; eliminating extra syllables during a crisis defines 'terse' as brief and concise; and maintaining a confident smile under pressure defines 'sanguine' as optimistic.

weakness

energy

visibility

mortality

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: energy

Cevap

The word vitality most nearly means energy.

The target word 'vitality' comes from the Latin root 'vit-' or 'vita-', meaning 'life.' Combined with the noun suffix '-ity,' it describes the state of being full of life, power, and physical vigor, making 'energy' the closest synonym.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the base root within the target word.

The word 'vitality' contains the Latin root 'vit-' (or 'vita-'), which means 'life'.

Recognizing the core root helps determine the primary definition of the unfamiliar word.

Analyze the suffix and overall word meaning.

The suffix '-ity' forms an abstract noun denoting a state or condition, yielding 'the state of being lively, vigorous, or energetic'.

Combining the root meaning with the noun suffix confirms the word's precise function and meaning.

Evaluate the answer choices to identify the closest synonym.

'Energy' aligns directly with the idea of liveliness and vigor derived from the root 'vit-'.

Based on the context clues provided in the sentence, which of the following is the closest synonym for the word punctilious?

punctual

punitive

meticulous

careless

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: meticulous

Cevap

meticulous, meaning showing great attention to detail and precise adherence to standards

The correct choice is 'meticulous' because the sentence uses a dash restatement that explicitly defines 'punctilious' as being 'meticulous in documenting every deviation' and 'exacting in enforcing standard operating procedures.'

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

lucid

The sentence uses the contrast transition 'Unlike' to oppose the 'obscure and ambiguous' initial report with the investigator's explanation, which 'made every detail immediately understandable'. Therefore, the blank requires a word meaning clear, intelligible, or easily understood, making 'lucid' (or an equivalent term such as 'coherent' or 'explicit') the correct answer.

The sentence featuring 'lukewarm' matches with 'Unenthusiastic and lacking genuine interest'; the sentence featuring 'brusque' matches with 'Abrupt and curt in speech or manner'; and the sentence featuring 'bleak' matches with 'Grim, discouraging, and offering little hope.'

Each match correctly identifies the figurative meaning signaled by tone and surrounding clues: 'lukewarm' reflects mild lack of enthusiasm, 'brusque' reflects rapid and blunt communication, and 'bleak' reflects a pessimistic, discouraging situation.

Analyze the tonal clues in the first sentence

The phrase 'largely unimpressed' indicates that 'lukewarm' refers to an unenthusiastic attitude rather than physical temperature.

Identifying emotional valence reveals the figurative meaning in context.

Analyze the tonal clues in the second sentence

The actions 'cut off lengthy explanations' and 'demanded direct answers' imply a sharp, impatient manner, indicating 'brusque' means abrupt.

Behavioral descriptions provide behavioral and tonal context for character traits.

Analyze the tonal clues in the third sentence

The phrase 'extensive flood damage' combined with delay past winter establishes a dismal, pessimistic tone, indicating 'bleak' means grim or discouraging.

ephemeral (or contextual synonyms such as transitory, evanescent, or fleeting)

The correct term is 'ephemeral' (or direct equivalents like 'transitory' or 'fleeting') because the sentence provides an example context clue signaled by 'such as'.

A university is installing artificial turf on an indoor practice facility. The rectangular facility measures $120\text{ feet}$ in length and $60\text{ feet}$ in width. Inside the facility, there are two identical rectangular equipment zones, each measuring $30\text{ feet}$ long and $15\text{ feet}$ wide, which will remain bare concrete and will not be covered with turf. If the artificial turf costs $\$24$ per square yard, what is the total cost, in dollars, of the artificial turf needed for the facility?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16800

Cevap

16800

The correct answer is found by calculating the total area of the facility (

7,200\text{ sq ft}

), subtracting the area of the two equipment zones (

900\text{ sq ft}

), converting the remaining area (

6,300\text{ sq ft}

) from square feet to square yards by dividing by 9 (

700\text{ sq yd}

), and finally multiplying by the cost per square yard (

24) to get

16,800.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate the total area of the facility.

120 \times 60 = 7,200\text{ sq ft}

To establish the maximum possible area before exclusions.

Calculate the area of the two equipment zones that will not be turfed.

2 \times (30 \times 15) = 900\text{ sq ft}

The two zones are bare concrete, so their combined area must be subtracted from the total.

Subtract the equipment zones from the total facility area.

7,200 - 900 = 6,300\text{ sq ft}

To find the actual area that requires artificial turf.

Convert the turfed area from square feet to square yards.

6,300 \div 9 = 700\text{ sq yd}

There are 9 square feet in one square yard (

3\text{ ft} \times 3\text{ ft}

), and the turf is priced per square yard.

Calculate the total cost.

700 \times 24 = \$16,800

Multiplying the required square yards by the price per square yard gives the final cost.
