سوال ۱ کنکور ارشد مهندسی برق ۱۴۰۴
PART A: Vocabulary — Choose the word or phrase (1), (2), (3), or (4) that best completes the sentence.
My mother was a very strong, «..........» woman who was a real adventurer in love with the arts and sports.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ B — independent
The blank is a second adjective describing the mother, coordinated with strong and supported by the relative clause "who was a real adventurer in love with the arts and sports." Only a personality adjective fits, and independent ("not relying on or controlled by others; self-reliant") pairs naturally with strong and with the picture of an adventurous woman.
The distractors are all wrong semantically:
| Option | Meaning | Why it fails |
|---|---|---|
| consecutive | following one after another in order | describes a sequence of events/numbers, not a person |
| enforced | imposed or compelled by authority | applies to rules/laws/silence, not a character trait |
| subsequent | coming after something in time | a time-order adjective, not a personal quality |
Exam trick: when a blank sits between a comma-coordinated adjective (
very strong, ______ woman), the answer must be an adjective of the SAME semantic class as the one given — here a trait of character. Scan the choices for the only human-describing adjective before weighing nuance.
