Zorluk: KolayMulti-Blank Dependency Tracking

Consider the following passage:

Although the editor initially feared that the young novelist's debut manuscript would be (i)________, filled with needlessly convoluted prose and dense jargon, she was relieved to find the writing remarkably (ii)________, distinguished throughout by crisp structure and effortless clarity.

Which of the following word pairs best completes the blanks to maintain the logical and semantic coherence of the passage?

  1. convoluted ... lucidCevap
  2. B
    lucid ... convoluted
  3. C
    convoluted ... opaque
  4. D
    lucid ... straightforward
  5. E
    turgid ... obscure

Cevap

The pair 'convoluted ... lucid' correctly completes the sentence by maintaining the necessary contrast between the editor's initial fears and the actual manuscript.
The sentence relies on a concession/contrast structure marked by 'Although'. The editor initially feared the manuscript would be overly complex ('convoluted'), but was relieved to find it clear and easily understood ('lucid'), which matches 'crisp structure and effortless clarity'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze structural transition signals
The opening word 'Although' indicates a contrast between the editor's expectation in the first clause and the reality discovered in the second clause.
Tracking contrast signals determines how the valence of the two blanks must relate to one another.
2
Evaluate context clues for Blank (i)
The appositive phrase 'filled with needlessly convoluted prose and dense jargon' directly describes the fear, requiring a word meaning overly complex or involved, such as 'convoluted'.
The first blank must directly reflect the negative description provided immediately after it.
3
Evaluate context clues for Blank (ii) using inter-blank dependency
The editor was 'relieved', and the prose possessed 'crisp structure and effortless clarity', requiring a word meaning clear and easy to understand, such as 'lucid'.
Blank (ii) must contrast with blank (i) while aligning with the positive descriptive clues at the end of the sentence.
