The islands ---------- their name from the sacred images found on them by the early European navigators.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — derive
پاسخ تشریحی
The fixed collocation is "derive (something) from (something)", meaning to obtain, take, or get from a source. The islands got their name from the sacred images, so (derive) fits both the meaning and the preposition from.
Why the others fail:
| Option | Meaning | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| grasp | to seize / understand firmly | wrong sense |
| infer | to conclude from evidence | wrong sense; you do not "infer a name" |
| illustrate | to explain or show with examples | wrong sense |
| derive | to obtain / take from a source | correct |
Exam trick: The preposition from in the sentence signals a source. "Derive ... from" is the standard source collocation, so the right verb is the one that means "to take/obtain from."
