Tanish so'z, notanish ma'no

As used in the text, what does the word “X” most nearly mean? — Words in Context'ning ikkinchi shakli. Bu yerda bitta qonuniyat bor va u deyarli hech qachon buzilmaydi:

📝 Namuna:

Tagi chizilgan so'z deyarli har doim siz biladigan oddiy so'z bo'ladi — sound, reserved, bound, figure, qualify, hard. Qiyinlik so'zda emas: so'z bu gapda odatdagidan boshqa ma'noda ishlatilgan.

Va to'rtta variantning ichida so'zning eng mashhur ma'nosi har doim bor — u aynan siz uchun qo'yilgan.

⏱ Maqsad: ~35 soniya

Usul — uch qadam

1. So'zni gapdan olib tashlang. Uning o'rniga bo'shliq qo'ying va o'zingizga ayting: shu bo'shliqqa qanday ma'no kerak? Ya'ni bu shaklni 1-shaklga aylantiring — 11-darsda o'rgangan bashorat usuli o'shanda ishlay boshlaydi.

2. So'zning mashhur ma'nosini ataylab bir chetga suring. «Bu so'z odatda nimani anglatadi?» degan savol bu yerda sizga qarshi ishlaydi. Yagona savol: shu gapda nima ishlayapti?

3. Har variantni gapga qo'yib o'qing. Bir necha so'zni emas — butun gapni. Noto'g'ri variantlar ko'pincha gapni grammatik jihatdan ham buzadi: reserve X to Y bo'ladi, lekin protect X to Y bo'lmaydi.

💡 Maslahat: 3-qadamdagi predlog hiylasi juda foydali: ingliz tilida ko'p fe'l o'z predlogini «olib yuradi». Agar variantni qo'yganingizda predlog g'alati eshitilsa — bu variant deyarli har doim noto'g'ri.

SAT eng ko'p sinaydigan so'zlar

Bularni yodlash shart emas, lekin ikkinchi ma'nosi borligini bilib qo'yish foydali:

📌 Eslatma: Bu jadval «javoblar ro'yxati» emas. U faqat bitta odatni o'rnatish uchun: tagi chizilgan so'zni ko'rganda «men bu so'zni bilaman» degan hisni to'xtating — aynan o'sha his sizni tuzoqqa olib boradi.

Ishlangan namuna

The city's early charters reserved the right to hold a market to a handful of families, and for two centuries no one else could lawfully sell grain inside the walls. The monopoly ended not by decree but by neglect: the families died out, and the restriction was simply never enforced again.

As used in the text, what does the word “reserved” most nearly mean?

  1. postponed
  2. restricted
  3. protected
  4. doubted

1-qadam. So'zni olib tashlaymiz: the charters ___ the right to hold a market to a handful of families. Bo'shliqqa qanday ma'no kerak? Keyingi jumla aytadi: no one else could lawfully sell grain — faqat o'sha oilalarga ruxsat, boshqalarga yo'q.

2-qadam. reservedning mashhur ma'nosi — «kamgap, o'ziga yopiq odam». Uni bir chetga suramiz: bu yerda odam emas, hujjat gapiryapti.

3-qadam. Har variantni predlog bilan birga sinaymiz.

TO‘G‘RIrestricted — «chekladi, faqat shularga qoldirdi». restrict X to Y — predlog joyida, va keyingi jumla («boshqa hech kim sotolmasdi») bu ma'noning to'g'ridan-to'g'ri isboti.
TUZOQprotected — «himoya qildi» — eng kuchli tuzoq, chunki nizom haqiqatan o'sha oilalarning manfaatini himoya qilgan. Lekin gapni to'liq o'qing: protected the right … to a handful of families — predlog buziladi. Ingliz tilida «kimnidir himoya qilish» protect for yoki predlogsiz bo'ladi. Rost bo'lishi mumkin, lekin so'ralmagan — va grammatikasi ham sotib qo'yadi.
TUZOQpostponed — «kechiktirdi» — vaqt ma'nosi. Nizom bozor huquqini kechiktirmagan, u kimga tegishli ekanini belgilagan.
TUZOQdoubted — «shubhalandi» — hujjat shubhalanmaydi, va matnda hech qanday ishonchsizlik yo'q.

The engineer worked along the length of the old beam, tapping it every few centimetres and listening. A hollow note meant rot somewhere beneath the surface. A sound beam answered with a short, dense knock that he said could be felt in the wrist as much as heard.

As used in the text, what does the word “sound” most nearly mean?

Early attempts to date archaeological timber by counting growth rings went wrong whenever a sample came from a species that does not lay down exactly one ring a year. Dendrochronologists now qualify their results accordingly: a date is published as a range rather than a single year, and the species is named beside it.

As used in the text, what does the word “qualify” most nearly mean?

A jazz soloist who repeats a phrase exactly has usually made a mistake; one who repeats it a step higher has made a decision. What sounds to an outsider like pure spontaneity is bound by conventions as strict as those of any written form: which chords may be implied, when a chorus ends, how one phrase answers the phrase before it.

As used in the text, what does the word “bound” most nearly mean?

Her father had a way of receiving news that gave nothing away. When Nodira told him she had been offered the place in Tashkent, he set down his cup, looked at the window for a while, and said only that the winters there were hard. It was three days before she learned, from her mother, that he had told everyone in the mahalla.
