۰/۵
The psychologist told him to «..........» on the part of the problem that troubled him.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ A — focus
پاسخ تشریحی
The blank is immediately followed by the preposition on, so the verb must be one that collocates with on. Focus on means "to concentrate one's attention on" — the psychologist told him to concentrate on the troubling part of the problem, which fits the meaning perfectly. Solve takes a direct object (solve the problem), not solve on. Blame uses a different structure (blame X on Y, i.e., needs an object before on). Base also needs an object (base X on Y). Only focus on is both grammatically and semantically correct.
