Hi, I have a question regarding the following TC. I watched the video solution by Greg but I stil have a doubt.
To test the------of borrowing from one field of study to enrich another,simply investigate the extent to which terms from one may, without forcing, be----- the other
According to me the above question is a double possibility. I am having a hard time choosing between answer choice A (risk…confused with)
and E (efficacy… utilized by).
Here is how I approached the question, I would greatly appreciate any feedback:
- Idea 1 and Idea 2 are supporting each other. The structure words indicating this relationship are “To” test X, …“, simply investigate Y”
- Idea 1 and 2 have are both neutral and hence we cannot easily infer that blank 1 or blank 2 should both be positive or negative
- Hence this leads to a double possibility
- My semantic guesses were:
i) Harm … mistaken for
ii) efficacy … complemented by - Going to answer choices, I find semantic guess (i) similar enough to Option A (risk…confused with) and semantic guess (ii) similar enough to Option E (efficacy… utilized by).
The only reason I can think of for choosing option E over A is the usage strategy but I’m not sure if that is a strong enough reason. i.e. You cannot force something to be confused with another while you could force something to be utilized.
Please do let me know what I am missing and how to improve. Thank you and appreciate your help!
