multiple choice C1

Which of the following best describes the act of having glimpsed something?

درسته! نه دقیقاً. پاسخ صحیح: A brief, incomplete, or accidental sighting.

To 'glimpse' means to see something very briefly or partially, implying the observation was not complete or sustained. Therefore, a brief, incomplete, or accidental sighting is the best description.

multiple choice C1

The detective only __________ the suspect's car as it sped away, making it difficult to recall the license plate number.

درسته! نه دقیقاً. پاسخ صحیح: glimpsed

The context implies a quick, incomplete sighting of the car, which aligns perfectly with the meaning of 'glimpsed.' 'Inspected,' 'scrutinized,' and 'observed' suggest a more deliberate or sustained act of seeing.

multiple choice C1

درسته! نه دقیقاً. پاسخ صحیح: As the train rounded the bend, I glimpsed a majestic deer standing by the tracks for a split second.

true false C1

If you glimpsed someone, you likely had a long, sustained view of them.

Because glimpsing involves a brief and incomplete observation, it is unlikely that one could accurately recall every detail. The nature of the sighting prevents such detailed recall.

true false C1

A sudden, unexpected sighting of a rare bird would be an example of having glimpsed it.

درسته! نه دقیقاً. پاسخ صحیح: درست

A sudden and unexpected sighting perfectly aligns with the definition of 'glimpsed,' which implies a brief, fleeting, or accidental observation. Therefore, the statement is true.
