dangerous (or unsafe)
The sentence provides a direct cause-and-effect clue: because the runway was icy and posed a severe safety risk, flight operations were halted. Therefore, 'hazardous' means involving risk or danger, making 'dangerous' or 'unsafe' the exact synonym required.

The lead engineer criticized the legacy mainframe as antediluvian after discovering that replacement parts were no longer manufactured. In this context, what does the word antediluvian most nearly mean?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: outdated

Cevap

outdated
The word 'antediluvian' is formed from the Latin prefix 'ante-' (meaning before), the root 'diluvium' (meaning deluge or flood), and the adjectival suffix '-an' (meaning pertaining to). Literally meaning 'existing before the biblical flood,' it is standardly used to describe something that is extremely old-fashioned, primitive, or outdated.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Isolate the prefix and identify its meaning
The prefix 'ante-' means 'before' or 'prior to' in Latin.
Prefix identification helps establish the chronological direction of the root.
2
Examine the root word and derivational suffix
The root 'diluvium' refers to a great deluge or flood, and the suffix '-an' functions as an adjective formative meaning 'pertaining to' or 'belonging to'.
Analyzing the root and suffix gives the complete literal construction: 'belonging to the era before the deluge.'
3
Synthesize the morphological elements with sentence context
Referring to something as existing before the biblical flood indicates that it is ancient, obsolete, or outdated.
The sentence describes an old mainframe whose replacement parts are obsolete, matching the meaning 'outdated'.

exculpate (or precise synonyms such as exonerate, absolve, vindicate, or acquit)

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.

The country's government faced international criticism after taking unilateral military action without consulting its allies. In this context, what does the word unilateral most nearly mean?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: one-sided

Cevap

one-sided
The word 'unilateral' is formed from the Latin prefix 'uni-' (meaning 'one'), the root 'later' (meaning 'side'), and the derivational suffix '-al' (meaning 'pertaining to'). In the context of state decisions and military actions, a unilateral initiative is carried out by a single nation independently without mutual agreement, making 'one-sided' the exact synonym.

Identify the prefix 'uni-' (meaning 'one'), the Latin root 'later' (meaning 'side'), and the adjectival suffix '-al' (meaning 'pertaining to').
Analyzing the morphological components reveals the core structural definition of the derived word.
2
Combine the morpheme meanings to deduce the overall contextual definition.
'Pertaining to one side' translates to an action undertaken by a single party independently.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Sleep-inducing

Cevap

Sleep-inducing
The word 'somniferous' is formed from the Latin root 'somn-' (meaning sleep) and 'fer-' (meaning to bear or produce), combined with the adjective suffix '-ous'. Therefore, 'somniferous' literally translates to 'sleep-bearing' or 'sleep-inducing', perfectly matching the context of a calming herbal remedy.

Determining the function of the secondary morpheme clarifies how the base root operates
3
