四選一

The planning session was highly ____, resulting in a clear schedule for the project.

  • productivity
  • productively
  • produce
  • productive
看答案

productive

was 後需要形容詞描述會議,且 highly 修飾該形容詞,因此選 productive。productivity 是名詞,不能搭配 highly 形成此處的補語;productively 是副詞,不能直接描述主詞;produce 作動詞或名詞都不符合此句結構。

同義改寫

The factory became more productive after the equipment upgrade. → The factory could produce larger quantities after the equipment upgrade.
此處 more productive 表示生產能力提高,改寫為能生產更大量的產品,未額外宣稱獲利增加。
Our discussion about the delivery schedule was productive. → Our discussion about the delivery schedule yielded useful results.
此處 productive 表示討論有成效,與 yielded useful results 所表達的產生有用成果相符。
