Instructions ›

* Select the correct answer into all dropdown fields. You need to answer all questions before clicking verify button.

It is an original work, not an excerpted passage. An abstract must be fully self-contained and sense by itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper. It highlights key areas, your research purpose, the relevance or importance of your work, and the main outcomes. It is a well-developed single paragraph of approximately 250 words length, which is indented and single spaced. The function of the abstract is to outline briefly all parts of the paper. Although at the beginning of your paper, immediately following the title page, the abstract should be the last thing that you write, you are sure of the conclusions you will reach.

Result:

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: make
Explanation: The verb 'make' fits grammatically as it indicates the action of creating or forming something, which aligns with the context of the abstract needing to be self-contained. The phrase 'make sense' is a common collocation, making it the most appropriate choice here.
Meaning: 'Make' means to create or cause something to exist, in this case, the abstract should create a coherent understanding on its own.
Wrong options:
get: 'Get' implies obtaining or receiving, which does not convey the idea of creating coherence in this context.
give: 'Give' suggests providing something to someone, which does not fit the requirement of the abstract being self-contained.
take: 'Take' implies removing or accepting something, which does not align with the need for the abstract to be self-sufficient.
Correct answer: content
Explanation: The noun 'content' refers to the material or subject matter contained within the abstract, making it the most suitable choice. It aligns with the context of highlighting key areas of research.
Meaning: 'Content' means the information or topics covered in a document, which in this case refers to the main subjects of the research.
Wrong options:
contemplate: 'Contemplate' means to think deeply about something, which does not fit the context of describing what the abstract highlights.
account: 'Account' refers to a report or description of an event, which does not accurately represent the focus on key areas of research.
comment: 'Comment' implies a remark or observation, which does not align with the idea of summarizing the main subjects of the research.
Correct answer: in
Explanation: The preposition 'in' is used to indicate the context or location of the length of the abstract, making it the correct choice. It fits grammatically and contextually with the phrase 'in length.'
Meaning: 'In' indicates the measurement or extent of something, here referring to the length of the abstract.
Wrong options:
from: 'From' suggests a starting point, which does not fit the context of describing the length of the abstract.
within: 'Within' implies being inside something, which does not accurately describe the length of the abstract.
to: 'To' indicates direction or destination, which does not apply to the context of measuring length.
Correct answer: it is placed
Explanation: The phrase 'it is placed' is grammatically correct and indicates the position of the abstract in relation to the paper. It fits contextually as it describes the abstract's location in the document.
Meaning: 'It is placed' means that the abstract is positioned at a specific point in the paper, specifically at the beginning.
Wrong options:
it is transferring: This phrase is grammatically incorrect in this context, as 'transferring' does not relate to the placement of the abstract.
it has omitted: This phrase suggests something has been left out, which does not apply to the context of where the abstract is located.
it started: This phrase implies the beginning of an action, which does not accurately describe the static position of the abstract.
Correct answer: once
Explanation: The adverb 'once' indicates a specific time after which something occurs, fitting grammatically and contextually as it refers to the timing of writing the abstract after reaching conclusions.
Meaning: 'Once' means at the time that or as soon as, indicating the condition under which the abstract should be written.
Wrong options:
then: 'Then' suggests a sequence of events, which does not convey the conditional aspect of writing the abstract after conclusions are reached.
before: 'Before' indicates a prior time, which contradicts the requirement that the abstract should be written after the conclusions are clear.
and: 'And' is a conjunction that connects ideas, which does not fit the context of indicating a specific timing for writing the abstract.
