The couple were finally .......... by the landlord after not paying their rent for six months.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ C — evicted
پاسخ تشریحی
Option 3: evicted. To evict tenants is to force them to leave a rented property, typically because they have breached the rental agreement. The clues are “the landlord,” “their rent,” and “not paying ... for six months.” Together they identify eviction rather than a general departure.
“Were finally evicted by the landlord” is passive: the couple are the affected tenants, and “by the landlord” identifies the agent.
| Other option | Meaning | Why it fails |
|---|---|---|
| 1. extended | lengthened or increased | A lease or deadline can be extended, but the couple themselves cannot be “extended” in this sense. |
| 2. elicited | drawn out or obtained, especially a response or information | A landlord might elicit an explanation, not elicit the tenants. |
| 4. evacuated | removed from a place for safety, such as during a fire | It can describe people being moved out, but the sentence gives unpaid rent, not danger, as the reason. |
Pitfall: “Evict” concerns removal from a property by its owner or an authority; “evacuate” usually concerns leaving a dangerous place for safety.
