Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Cevap:For decades, historians debated whether the ancient city-state's agricultural system was entirely decentralized or managed by a central authority. Recent archaeological excavations of clay tablets containing detailed crop distribution records have finally settled the matter, demonstrating that a centralized bureaucracy did indeed 【regulate】 the region's food supply, directing resources from rural farms to urban granaries.

Cevap

regulate (or a similar high-utility academic word indicating control or management, such as manage, oversee, or control)
The correct answer must mean to control, direct, or supervise. The passage states that the bureaucracy was 'directing resources from rural farms to urban granaries,' indicating a high level of administrative coordination. Words such as 'regulate,' 'control,' 'manage,' or 'oversee' fit this context precisely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the sentence to identify key clues.
The text contrasts a 'decentralized' system with one 'managed by a central authority.' It notes that clay tablets revealed a 'centralized bureaucracy' that was 'directing resources.'
This establishes that the missing word must describe the action of a centralized bureaucracy actively managing or controlling resources.
2
Select a grammatically and semantically appropriate verb to fill the blank.
The auxiliary verb construction 'did indeed [verb]' requires a base form verb. Words like 'regulate,' 'manage,' 'control,' or 'oversee' fit both the grammatical constraint and the semantic meaning of directing resources.
The verb must align with the administration and organization of a supply system by a governing body.
