سوال ۱ کنکور ارشد مهندسی کامپیوتر ۱۴۰۴
اهمیت
۰/۵
One theory holds that humans became highly …………….. because evolution selected those of our forefathers who were especially good at solving problems.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — intelligent
پاسخ تشریحی
This is a vocabulary / word-choice item. The clause after because gives the decisive context clue: evolution favored ancestors "especially good at solving problems." The quality that lets one solve problems well is being intelligent (smart, able to reason), so the blank must be intelligent.
Why the distractors fail:
| Option | Meaning | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| successive | following one after another | unrelated to problem-solving |
| concerned | worried / involved | does not describe a problem-solving trait |
| passionate | having strong emotion | emotion, not reasoning ability |
| intelligent | able to learn, reason, solve problems | matches "good at solving problems" |
Hence the correct choice is option 4, intelligent.
Exam trick: In vocabulary blanks, the because / since / so clause usually paraphrases the missing word — "good at solving problems" is a direct gloss of intelligent.
