The rising death toll is .......... largely to the growing number of elderly people, who are especially vulnerable to the flu.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — attributed
پاسخ تشریحی
Answer: option 4 — attributed (نسبت دادهشده). Attribute something to a cause (چیزی را به علتی نسبت دادن) explains why an outcome occurs. The growing elderly population is presented as the cause of the rising death toll, so the passive collocation is is attributed to.
| Option | Meaning | Persian gloss |
|---|---|---|
| 1) transferred | moved from one place, person or position to another | منتقلشده |
| 2) debilitated | made weak, especially by illness | ناتوانشده، ضعیفشده |
| 3) converted | changed into a different form, use or belief | تبدیلشده |
| 4) attributed | regarded as caused by or due to something | نسبت دادهشده |
- Transferred: describes movement between places or holders. A context about patients being moved to another hospital would support it; the death toll is not being moved.
- Debilitated: describes weakened people or organisms. The elderly may be debilitated by illness, but an increasing death toll is not weakened.
- Converted: describes a change of form or function, normally with into or to naming the new form. The sentence offers a cause, not a new form.
Exam trick: Be attributed to + cause answers why something happened; be transferred to + destination answers where it was moved.
