Zorluk: OrtaInterpreting Continuation and Causal Structural Signals

The behavioral economist observed that the new financial incentives did not merely encourage short-term compliance; furthermore, by altering long-term risk perception, the policy ________ a profound shift in household savings strategies.

Which of the following words, when inserted into the blank, produce sentences that are equivalent in meaning? Select exactly two choices.

  1. inducedCevap
  2. engenderedCevap
  3. C
    stifled
  4. D
    curbed
  5. E
    ameliorated
  6. F
    validated

Cevap

The two choices that produce equivalent, logically coherent sentences are 'induced' and 'engendered'.
The sentence relies on the additive continuation transition 'furthermore' and the causal clause 'by altering long-term risk perception'. The initial clause states that the policy encouraged compliance; the second clause expands on this by stating that the policy also brought about a shift in savings strategies. Both 'induced' and 'engendered' mean to cause, produce, or give rise to, making them exact functional synonyms in this context.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sentence structure and identify transition signals.
The clause opens with 'did not merely encourage...', followed by the continuation signal 'furthermore' and a causal modifier 'by altering long-term risk perception'.
Structural signals dictate whether the blank requires a word that reinforces, elaborates on, or reverses the direction of the preceding clause.
2
Determine the required meaning and tone for the blank.
The blank must mean 'brought about', 'caused', or 'produced' to show how altering risk perception resulted in a profound shift.
The transition 'furthermore' combined with the causal preposition 'by' indicates that the policy created or generated a secondary, broader outcome.
3
Evaluate the choices to find a pair of near-synonyms that both fit the contextual requirement.
'induced' and 'engendered' both mean to bring about or give rise to a condition/action, yielding identical sentence meanings.
Sentence Equivalence requires selecting two distinct options that both fit the syntax and produce logically identical sentences.
