In his philosophical essays, Michel de Montaigne frequently adopted a self-deprecating tone, characterizing his writing as a collection of chaotic, unstructured thoughts. Yet literary scholars note that this apparent formlessness was actually a _______ strategy; by presenting himself as an untutored, ordinary thinker, Montaigne could subvert the rigid scholastic authorities of his era without inviting their direct censorship.

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

  2. B
    spontaneous
  3. C

  4. D
    trivial

Cevap

calculated
The passage notes that Montaigne's 'apparent formlessness' was not accidental but rather a deliberate plan—a 'strategy'—to 'subvert' authority and avoid censorship. The word 'calculated' means deliberately planned or designed to achieve a specific outcome, which perfectly fits this context.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the blank
The text states that Montaigne's 'apparent formlessness' was actually a strategy that allowed him to 'subvert... authorities... without inviting their direct censorship.'
This shows the blank must describe a word that means deliberate, planned, or designed for a specific effect.
2
Evaluate the choices against the context
The word 'calculated' precisely describes a strategic, deliberate action designed to produce a specific outcome. The other choices ('spontaneous', 'tentative', 'trivial') either contradict the deliberate nature of a strategy or misalign with the significant impact of Montaigne's work.
Choosing the word that is semantically and grammatically accurate based on the context of the sentence.
