* Choose the Correct Answer:
* Choose the Correct Answer:
upsetting - compelling - venues - records - concluded - formats - marred
*Model Answer with Grammar Explanation
- marred (verb): This means to spoil or damage something. It best fits the context of construction delays negatively affecting the preparations.
- "Marred" means spoiled or damaged مدلل أو تالف. In this context, it fits well to describe how the preparations for the Athens games were negatively affected by construction delays. تأثرت سلباً بتأخير أعمال البناء
- "preparations...were marred": This is a passive voice construction. "Marred" functions as the verb, and "preparations" is the subject being acted upon.
2- venues يأتي / موقع ✅
- venues (noun): This refers to specific places where events take place. The passage mentions historic sites used for the games.
- "Venues" refers to the places where events take place, and here it implies the construction of the necessary facilities for the games.
3- records: السجلات - المحفوظات - الأرشيف ✅
- "Records" here refers to breaking previous records related to the number of nations, athletes, and events participating. This choice makes sense in the context of the sentence, emphasizing the remarkable scale and participation in the Athens games.
- records (noun): This refers to the best achievements or results previously attained. In this context, it describes the participation exceeding past numbers.
- Grammar Explanation > "Participation records were once again broken": This is a simple sentence with a subject ("participation records") and a verb phrase ("were broken").
4- compelling : قهري / مفروض علي / خاضع ✅
- "Compelling" means evoking interest إثارة الاهتمام, attention, or admiration. In this context, it suggests that the historic sites used for the games were captivating or impressive آسر أو مثير للإعجاب, almost as much as the competitions themselves.
- This implies something that is powerfully attractive, not simply impressive.
Incorrect options:
* upsetting: This suggests emotional distress, not disruption.
* concluded: This means to finish something, and the passage doesn't state if the preparations were completely finished before the games.
* formats: This refers to the structure or layout of something, not the locations of events.
