While 19th-century philologists frequently relegated rare grammatical archaic forms to the status of a mere (i)________ in language evolution—assuming such structures were accidental deviations that possessed no systemic function—modern computational linguistics reveals that these persistent anomalies actively stabilize syntactic rules during periods of rapid dialectal shift, thereby rendering the historical dismissal of these forms not merely premature, but fundamentally (ii)________.
Which of the following pairs of terms, when inserted into the blanks, best completes the passage logically and coherently?
- (i) addendum ... (ii) untenableCevap
- B(i) harbinger ... (ii) untenable
- C(i) addendum ... (ii) prescient
- D(i) linchpin ... (ii) specious
- E(i) aberration ... (ii) immutable
Cevap
The pair '(i) addendum ... (ii) untenable' correctly completes the sentence by establishing that philologists viewed archaic forms as secondary attachments ('addendum') and that modern evidence proving their vital role makes such a dismissal logically unsupportable ('untenable').
The correct option pairs 'addendum' with 'untenable'. The first part of the sentence describes how 19th-century philologists minimized the importance of rare forms, considering them a mere extra or secondary feature ('addendum'). The second part presents modern evidence showing these forms perform a crucial stabilizing function. Therefore, the historical dismissal is rendered completely indefensible or 'untenable'.
