سوال ۲ کنکور ارشد مدیریت ۱۴۰۵
Management says that the person who built the building is ……………..… for the current problems.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — responsible
The blank is followed by the preposition for, and the sentence assigns blame for «the current problems» to the builder. The only adjective that both fits the meaning (being the cause of / accountable for something bad) and takes for is responsible.
All four words:
| Option | Meaning | فارسی | Typical pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| leading | most important, foremost; guiding | پیشرو، برجسته | attributive: a leading expert — not leading for |
| different | not the same | متفاوت | different from / than |
| surprising | causing surprise | شگفتآور، تعجببرانگیز | surprising to sb — describes a reaction, not blame |
| responsible | accountable, at fault, the cause of | مسئول، پاسخگو، مقصر | responsible for sth/sb |
Why the others fail:
- leading — used before a noun (a leading cause); as a predicate it needs leading to (a verb form), and is leading for is not English.
- different — collocates with from, and «different for the current problems» carries no meaning here.
- surprising — semantically wrong: management is attributing fault, not expressing astonishment.
So the person who built the building is responsible for the current problems = «سازندهٔ ساختمان مسئولِ مشکلات فعلی است».
Exam trick: In the Vocabulary part, read the preposition after the blank first. Each candidate adjective has a fixed partner (responsible for, different from, aware of, capable of, similar to). The preposition usually eliminates two or three options before you even weigh the meaning.
