❇️Analysis of the answers:
1. built : The sentence lacks a verb and after the base form of to-be “be” the past participle form of the main verb is used. Based on the meaning and tense “built” is the right verb. Extra tip: Modal verbs + be + past participle
2. inclusion : After the definite article “the” and before the preposition “of” a noun is used and based on the meaning of the word “inclusion”, it is the right noun.
3. prevent : The word “can” is a modal verb and modal verbs cannot be used on their own. After a modal verb, the root form of a verb is generally used. Based on the meaning, “prevent” is the right verb.
4. accidentally : One of the functions of adverbs is to modify verbs. The verb “falling” is preceded and modified by the adverb “accidentally”. Since it is the only adverb available among our choices, it is the right answer.
5. existing : Attributive adjective is an adjective that usually comes before the noun it modifies without a linking verb. The word “system” as a noun is preceded and described by an adjective “existing”. Based on the meaning, “existing” is the right adjective.

۱. جمله فاقد فعل می باشد و بعد از شکل اصلی to-be که “be” می باشد شکل سوم (past participle) فعل اصلی استفاده شده است. براساس معنا و زمان، فعل صحیح “built” می باشد. نکته: modal verb + be + past participle
۲. بعد از حرف تعریف معین “the” و قبل از حرف اضافه “of” از یک اسم (noun) استفاده شده است. بر اساس معنای لغت “inclusion” پاسخ صحیح است.
۳. واژه “can” یک modal verb است و آنها نمی توانند به تنهایی استفاده شوند. بعد از یک modal verb، بطورکلی شکل اصلی فعل استفاده می شود. براساس معنا، فعل صحیح “prevent” می باشد.
۴. یکی از کارکرد های adverb توصیف کردن فعل می باشد. فعل “lived” در ادامه قید “accidentally” آمده و توسطش توصیف شده است. همچنین “accidentally” تنها گزینه adverb ما می باشد.

❇️Analysis of the answers:
1. found : Based on the auxiliary verb “have been”, lack of subject and the absence of the main verb in this sentence, it is obvious to us that the voice of the sentence is passive. In the present perfect tense we make passive verb forms by putting has/have + been before the past participle form of the verb. Based on the structure and the meaning, “found” is the right answer.
2. occupational : Attributive adjective is an adjective that usually comes before the noun it modifies without a linking verb. The word “domains” as a noun is preceded and described by an adjective “occupational”. Based on the meaning, “occupational” is the right adjective.
3. provokes : The sentence lacks a main verb and based on the subject-verb agreement principles, the word “discrepancy” as the singular subject of the sentence demands a singular verb. Based on the subject-verb agreement principles and the meaning, “provokes” is the right answer.
4. inadequately : One of the functions of adverbs is to modify verbs. The verb “sampling” is preceded and modified by the adverb “inadequately”. Since it is the only adverb available among our choices, it is the right answer.
5. intellect : A compound noun contains two or more words that join together to make a single noun, like “adult intellect”. Some compound nouns function as one unique word, but are still written as two or more separate words. The second part of the compound noun identifies the object or person being described by the first part. Based on the meaning “intellect” is the right answer.

براساس فعل کمکی (auxiliary verb) “have been”، فقدان فاعل و عدم وجود فعل اصلی در این جمله، بدیهی است که این یک جمله passive است. در زمان present perfect ساختار passive با قرار دادن has/have + been قبل از past participle (شکل سوم فعل) ساخته می شود. براساس ساختار و معنا، واژه “found” پاسخ صحیح می باشد.
۲. یک attributive adjective، صفتی است که معمولاً قبل از اسمی (noun) که توصیف می کند و بدون یک فعل ربط (linking verb) می آید. واژه “domains” به عنوان اسم (noun) در ادامه یک صفت که “occupational” می باشد آمده و توسط اش توصیف شده است. براساس معنا، صفت صحیح “occupational” می باشد.
۳. جمله فاقد فعل اصلی می باشد و واژه “discrepancy” به عنوان فاعل مفرد نیازمند یک فعل مفرد است. براساس اصول توافق شده فاعل-فعل و معنا، “provokes” پاسخ صحیح می باشد.
۴. یکی از کارکرد های قید (adverb) توصیف کردن فعل می باشد. فعل “sampling” در ادامه قید “inadequately”آمده و توسطش توصیف شده است. از آنجایی که “inadequately” تنها گزینه قید ما می باشد، پاسخ صحیح است.
۵. اسم مرکب (compound noun) اسمی است که از دو یا چند کلمه تشکیل شده که برای ساختن یک اسم (noun) واحد به هم می پیوندند، مانند “adult intellect”. بعضی از اسم های مرکب کارکرد یک واژه منحصربفرد را دارند اما همچنان به عنوان دو کلمه و یا بیشتر جداگانه نوشته میشوند. قسمت دوم موضوع یا شخص مورد نظر که توسط قسمت اول توصیف شده است را مشخص می کند. براساس معنا، پاسخ صحیح “intellect” می باشد.

Discussion transcript:
Narration: Two students and an IT support officer are discussing campus facilities at university.
Speaker1: You know, I've been spending so much time in the library lately, and while it's pretty good, I wish there were more quiet study rooms available. It feels like they're always booked up, especially around exam season. Sometimes it's hard to find a spot where you can really focus without distractions.
Speaker2: Oh, I totally agree about the study spaces, Liam. And speaking of facilities, I've noticed the Wi-Fi in some of the older buildings can be pretty unreliable. It constantly drops out, which is super frustrating when you're trying to hand in an assignment or watch a lecture. We're paying a lot for tuition, you'd think the basic internet would be really good everywhere.
Speaker3: Thanks for bringing that up, Jessica. We're actually aware of the Wi-Fi issues in the older blocks, and we're in the process of upgrading the system . It's a really big project, but we expect to see big improvements by next semester. As for study spaces, while that's not directly IT, good internet is super important for them, so we're working to make sure that's sorted.
Speaker1: That's good to hear about the Wi-Fi, Eric. It's definitely a big deal for productivity. And just wondering, have you considered adding more specialized computer labs? Sometimes specific software, like for engineering or design, is only available in a few labs, and they're always packed. It'd be great to have more access to those high-spec machines.
Speaker2: Yeah, definitely more lab access would be amazing. But can we talk about the campus gym for a second? It feels really outdated compared to other universities, and the equipment often seems to be broken. I think getting some new machines and maybe making the space bigger would really encourage more students to stay active and use the facilities.
Speaker3: I can definitely pass on the feedback about the specialized labs, Liam. We often check what software is needed and how much the labs are used, so your input is valuable. About the gym, Jessica, that falls under the Sports and Recreation department, but I know the university is always looking at ways to improve student well-being, and facilities are part of that. There are budget discussions happening all the time for these kinds of improvements.
Speaker1: It just seems like these improvements always take forever, or they're just fixing things after they break, instead of planning ahead. I mean, it's not just about fixing what's broken, but looking at what students actually need for modern learning and living. Maybe there should be a more regular, organized way for students to give feedback directly to facility managers, not just IT or sports, about everything from study zones to food outlets.
Speaker2: That's a great point, Liam. Like, a proper student facilities committee or even just a suggestion box system that they actually check regularly would be so helpful. It would make us feel more heard. Even simple things like more accessible water fountains or better lighting in some areas could really improve daily life on campus.
Speaker3: I appreciate that perspective, both of you. There are actually channels for feedback, like the student union representatives who meet with various university departments, including facilities management. Maybe we need to do a better job of publicizing those options. We really value student input; it helps us prioritize future projects and upgrades. Keep the suggestions coming!
