Zorluk: ZorMulti-Blank Dependency Tracking

Read the passage below and complete the text in a logically coherent manner:

Far from representing a (i)________ attempt to record folk melodies in their unadulterated form, early field recordings were frequently subject to heavy editorial intervention; collectors regularly altered rhythm and pitch structures to (ii)________ established classical conventions, ensuring that any indigenous idiosyncrasies were systematically (iii)________ to render the music palatable to urban concertgoers.

Which of the following combinations of terms best completes blanks (i), (ii), and (iii) respectively?

  1. (i) disinterested, (ii) conform to, (iii) expungedCevap
  2. B
    (i) tendentious, (ii) conform to, (iii) expunged
  3. C
    (i) disinterested, (ii) diverge from, (iii) expunged
  4. D
    (i) disinterested, (ii) conform to, (iii) foregrounded
  5. E
    (i) haphazard, (ii) subvert, (iii) cataloged

Cevap

The set containing '(i) disinterested, (ii) conform to, (iii) expunged' logically completes the passage.
The correct choice completes the passage by tracking logical relationships across all three blanks: the initial contrast signal ('Far from') requires 'disinterested' (impartial) to contrast with editorial intervention; 'conform to' accurately describes adapting folk songs to classical norms; and 'expunged' (erased) maintains consistency with removing native peculiarities to satisfy urban listeners.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Blank (i) using contrast clues.
The phrase 'Far from representing a (i)________ attempt' signals a reversal of what follows. Since collectors subjected recordings to 'heavy editorial intervention' rather than keeping them 'unadulterated', Blank (i) requires a word meaning impartial or objective. 'Disinterested' fits precisely.
Contrast clues demand a word opposite in meaning to biased intervention.
2
Analyze Blank (ii) using directional clues.
The passage notes that collectors 'altered rhythm and pitch structures' in order to fit 'established classical conventions'. Blank (ii) must mean to align with or comply with, making 'conform to' the correct choice.
The sentence specifies that changes were made to adapt the music to standard expectations.
3
Analyze Blank (iii) by cross-referencing inter-blank logical dependency.
To 'render the music palatable to urban concertgoers' who prefer classical standards, any 'indigenous idiosyncrasies' (unconventional traits) had to be eliminated. Thus, Blank (iii) requires a word meaning erased or removed, making 'expunged' correct.
Making the music palatable required removing native irregularities rather than preserving or highlighting them.
