Zorluk: OrtaMulti-Blank Dependency Tracking

Read the passage below:

"Far from viewing the early cartographer’s coastal charts as mere (i)________ creations, modern historians recognize that these seemingly crude maps were (ii)________ to the kingdom’s naval supremacy; the simple rendering of shorelines was not born of technical ineptitude, but rather reflected a deliberate prioritization of strategic utility over geographic embellishment."

Which set of terms, when inserted into the blanks, best completes the passage in a logically coherent manner?

  1. (i) ornamental, (ii) integralCevap
  2. B
    (i) vital, (ii) peripheral
  3. C
    (i) redundant, (ii) irrelevant
  4. D
    (i) ornamental, (ii) detrimental
  5. E
    (i) indispensable, (ii) ancillary

Cevap

The passage is best completed by choosing '(i) ornamental' and '(ii) integral'.
The passage establishes a clear contrast between an outdated view of early charts and their actual strategic value. The opening pivot 'Far from viewing... as mere...' requires Blank (i) to represent a diminished, decorative status ('ornamental'), which aligns with the phrase 'geographic embellishment' at the end. Consequently, modern historians recognize these charts as central ('integral') to naval supremacy because of their 'strategic utility.'

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze structural clues and transition signals in the passage.
The opening phrase 'Far from viewing... as mere (i)________' indicates that Blank (i) describes a trivialized or superficial view that modern historians reject. The final clause ('prioritization of strategic utility over geographic embellishment') clarifies that the maps favored functional utility over decorative detail.
Tracking cross-clause clues isolates the required polarity for Blank (i).
2
Determine the required meaning for Blank (i).
Blank (i) must mean decorative or non-essential, matching 'geographic embellishment.' The term 'ornamental' fits precisely.
The word 'mere' combined with 'geographic embellishment' requires a term denoting superficial decoration.
3
Determine the required meaning for Blank (ii) based on inter-blank dependency.
Because modern historians reject the view that the maps were merely ornamental, they must view them as central or essential to naval power. The term 'integral' fits this role.
The contrast between the rejected view in clause 1 and the modern perspective requires a positive, high-importance term for Blank (ii).
