سوال ۱ کنکور ارشد مدیریت ۱۴۰۰
اهمیت
۰/۵
I .......... the argument because I didn’t know enough about the subject.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ C — dropped
پاسخ تشریحی
Answer: option 3 — dropped (رها کرد، کنار گذاشت). Drop an argument (بحث را رها کردن) means stop pursuing it. Not knowing enough about the subject gives a reason to withdraw from the discussion, rather than begin or describe it.
| Option | Meaning | Persian gloss |
|---|---|---|
| 1) depicted | represented or described | به تصویر کشید، توصیف کرد |
| 2) confronted | faced or challenged directly | روبهرو شد، مقابله کرد |
| 3) dropped | abandoned or stopped pursuing | رها کرد، کنار گذاشت |
| 4) broached | introduced a topic for discussion | موضوعی را مطرح کرد |
- Depicted: would fit describing or portraying a scene, person or event; insufficient knowledge here explains withdrawal, not representation.
- Confronted: means faced something directly. A context about tackling a challenge would support it, whereas this speaker stops arguing.
- Broached: means introduced a subject. It would fit starting a discussion, the opposite of the action motivated by insufficient knowledge.
Exam trick: Broach a subject to start discussing it; drop an argument to stop pursuing it.
