سوال ۲ کنکور ارشد مهندسی مکانیک ۱۴۰۲
PART A: Vocabulary
Directions: Choose the word or phrase (1), (2), (3), or (4) that best completes each sentence. Then mark the answer on your answer sheet.
Immigration .......... from the Latin word migration and means the act of a foreigner entering a country in the aim of obtaining the right of permanent residence.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — derives
Option 4: derives. Derive from means to originate from or have something as a source. Here, Immigration is being discussed as a word: the phrase from the Latin word migration identifies its stated linguistic source. Thus derives from is the appropriate expression for the origin of a word.
- 1) gathers means collects or comes together. A word does not gather from another word in the sense of linguistic origin.
- 2) obtains means gets or acquires. In its usual transitive use it needs an object, such as obtains permission; obtains from the Latin word neither supplies that object nor expresses derivation.
- 3) arises means comes into existence or results from something. Arises from is grammatical in other contexts, often for problems, causes, or circumstances, but derives from is the precise collocation for a word's linguistic source.
Exam trick: Several verbs can occur before from. Use the noun following the preposition to decide: from the Latin word points to linguistic derivation.
