Zorluk: OrtaPhrasal Verbs and Prepositional Verbs

Complete the sentence below by supplying the correct preposition to form an appropriate prepositional verb.

Cevap:The defense counsel argued that the new circumstantial evidence presented by the prosecution did not bear 【on】 the specific charges against the accused.

Cevap

The correct preposition to complete the sentence is 'on' (or 'upon').
The prepositional verb 'bear on' (or 'bear upon') means to relate to, be relevant to, or affect a specific matter. In legal and formal discourse, asserting that evidence does not 'bear on' a charge indicates that it lacks direct relevance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sentence context and main verb.
The verb is 'bear', and the sentence describes whether legal evidence relates directly to specified charges.
The sentence addresses the concept of relevance of evidence in legal proceedings.
2
Determine the preposition required to convey the intended meaning of relevance.
The prepositional verb 'bear on' (or 'bear upon') means to have relevance, impact, or reference to a subject.
'Bear on' is standard formal English for expressing relevance or influence.
