Zorluk: OrtaSupport and Cause-Effect Clues

Which terms best complete the passage below to maintain the cause-and-effect and supporting logical relationships established by the structural clues?

Cevap:Because the regional transit expansion consistently reduced daily highway congestion, urban researchers concluded that the decade-long decline in commuter emissions was 【induced】 by the new light-rail network, an assertion that was furthermore 【buttressed】 by independent atmospheric measurement data.

Cevap

For the first blank, an appropriate term such as 'induced' or 'prompted' correctly expresses the direct causal relationship established by 'Because'. For the second blank, a term such as 'buttressed' or 'corroborated' correctly captures the supportive relationship signaled by 'furthermore'.
The passage uses two explicit structural clues: the opening causal marker 'Because', which indicates that the light-rail system directly caused or induced the reduction in emissions, and the additive adverb 'furthermore', which indicates that independent data buttressed or corroborated this assertion.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the causal clue governing the first blank.
The subordinate clause opens with the causal conjunction 'Because', establishing that the expansion of the light-rail network brought about or produced the reduction in emissions. Thus, blank 1 requires a verb meaning caused or initiated.
The structural signal 'Because' demands a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the cause (rail network expansion) and effect (decline in emissions).
2
Identify the support clue governing the second blank.
The transitional adverb 'furthermore' introduces additive evidence, signaling that the atmospheric data aligned with and confirmed the researchers' claim. Thus, blank 2 requires a verb meaning supported, strengthened, or verified.
The continuation signal 'furthermore' reinforces logical alignment rather than opposition or divergence.
