Zorluk: ZorVocabulary and Word Meaning in Context

Read the text excerpt below and fill in the blank with the word that best fits the contextual meaning required by the passage.

Cevap:While the legal team initially anticipated a long, contentious trial, the judge's ruling rendered the defendant's counterclaims 【moot】, effectively eliminating the need for further argument on those points.

Cevap

The word 'moot' (or contextually equivalent terms like 'irrelevant' or 'redundant') correctly fills the blank to indicate that the judicial ruling deprived the counterclaims of practical significance or legal relevance.
The context specifies that further argument was no longer needed after the ruling. In legal register, a point or claim that no longer has practical applicability or requires resolution is termed 'moot' (or contextually 'irrelevant' / 'redundant').

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the clause structure and contextual clues surrounding the blank.
The text states that the judge's ruling had the consequence of 'effectively eliminating the need for further argument on those points.'
Understanding the consequence of the judicial ruling indicates what happened to the legal status of the counterclaims.
2
Determine the legal/academic register word that means deprived of practical significance or academic/legal necessity.
In formal legal prose, an issue that no longer requires resolution because of a prior decision is described as 'moot' (or 'irrelevant' / 'redundant').
Substituting 'moot' preserves both the exact semantic requirement and the formal register of the excerpt.
