Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks you to fill in a single word by selecting from the text: “Write ONE WORD from the text to complete the sentence. 24. ‘they’ in paragraph 5 refers to Answer Question 12[input].”

First, note that this is a short-answer type question, not multiple-choice, so there are no listed options to evaluate one by one.

Key idea: determine who or what the pronoun “they” in paragraph 5 is pointing to, according to the context in Question 12 and the surrounding text.

Potential issue to flag: the provided answer appears as two words, “apartment developers.” The instruction explicitly asks for ONE WORD. If the source text uses a single term to refer to the group described in paragraph 5, that single term would be the correct one-word answer. If the text uses a compound noun or a proper noun that is conventionally treated as a single word, you would still count it as one word if it is hyphenated or a recognized single lexical item; otherwise, two separate words would not satisfy the “ONE WORD” requirement.

To reason through what the single-word reference could be, consider typical referents for a plural pronoun like “they” in a paragraph about housing or construction: possibilities include terms such as “developers,” “builders,” or a specific group name introduced earlier in the text. If paragraph 5 introduces a specific group and then uses “they” to refer to that group, the correct one-word referent would be that group’s label.

Why the two-word answer provided might be problematic:
- If the text uses a single-token label (e.g., “developers” or a proper name), that would satisfy the ONE WORD requirement.
- If the text uses “apartment developers” as a standard two-word term in the passage, it would technically violate the instruction to provide one word, unless the publication treats the two-word phrase as a single lexical item, which is uncommon.

What you should do in practice:
- Return to paragraph 5 and locate the noun or noun phrase that “they” clearly re-references.
- Check whether that noun phrase is a single word. If it is, report that word exactly (including capitalization as it appears in the text).
- If the referent is a compound noun that is conventionally treated as a single unit in the text (e.g., a brand name or a coined term written as one word), accept that as one word; otherwise, if it is two or more words, that would violate the stated instruction.

Because the given answer contains two words, you should verify whether the text indeed uses a single lexical item. If not, the correct one-word answer may be something like “developers” or another single-word referent identified in paragraph 5. If you must provide a single-word completion strictly, choose the one-word referent exactly as it appears in the text without additional qualifiers.

In short: re-check paragraph 5 to identify the precise one-word referent for “they”; if the text presents a two-word label, that would conflict with the instruction to provide ONE WORD, so adjust to the single-word referent accordingly.
