Zorluk: OrtaSupport and Cause-Effect Clues

Complete the passage by filling in the blank with the word that best preserves the logical support and cause-effect relationships established in the text.

Cevap:Given that the introduction of specific mycorrhizal fungi into the depleted soil consistently boosted nutrient absorption among native saplings, forest ecologists concluded that the fungal symbionts 【facilitated】 the recovery of degraded woodland ecosystems; indeed, the subsequent resurgence of canopy density directly stemmed from this enhanced root uptake.

Cevap

The blank requires a verb meaning 'helped bring about' or 'accelerated' (such as 'facilitated' or 'catalyzed') to align with the positive causal relationship established by the nutrient uptake boost and the subsequent canopy resurgence.
The correct response must reflect cause-and-effect alignment. The sentence uses 'Given that' to establish a beneficial cause (boosted nutrient uptake) and follows with 'indeed' and 'directly stemmed from' to emphasize that the fungal symbionts actively assisted or triggered the ecosystem recovery. Therefore, words meaning 'facilitated', 'catalyzed', or 'promoted' complete the logical structure accurately.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the cause-effect transition signals and context clues in the sentence.
The opening phrase 'Given that...' introduces a positive cause (boosted nutrient absorption), followed by 'concluded that...', and reinforced by the support clue 'indeed' and the causal marker 'directly stemmed from'.
Recognizing structural signals reveals whether the blank requires a word with positive, negative, or neutral continuation.
2
Determine the required tone and semantic direction for the blank.
Since boosted nutrient uptake leads to a 'resurgence of canopy density', the fungal symbionts must have positively enabled or driven the ecosystem's recovery.
The surrounding clauses reinforce each other without any contrast or reversal turnaround.
3
Select a term that fits the semantic requirement of assisting or causing progress.
Words such as 'facilitated', 'catalyzed', or 'promoted' fit the context precisely.
These terms correctly capture the causal relationship without overstating or contradicting the evidence.
