Cold snow packed into the deep wrinkles of the bark

Edit the sentence: correct the lexical error, excluding unnecessary word. Write this word down.

Cold snow packed into the wrinkles of the bark, and the thick, three-girth trunk seemed stitched with silver threads.

Explanation (see also Rule below).

Let's give the correct spelling.

Snow packed into the wrinkles of the bark, and the thick, three-girth trunk seemed stitched with silver threads.

The word “cold” was superfluous in the sentence, because... it referred to the word “snow”: snow cannot be warm.

replace the colloquial word with a stylistically neutral synonym in a sentence, write down this word;

replace the bookish word with a stylistically neutral synonym in the sentence, write down this word;

replace the colloquial phrase with a stylistically neutral one, write down this phrase.

1. What do you need to know when completing this task?

Synonyms are words, most often of the same part of speech, different in sound, but identical or similar in lexical meaning, often differing in stylistic coloring: here - here, look - look think - think, cruel - ruthless, neighborhood - districts, etc. .

A group of words consisting of several synonyms is called a synonymous series: sleep - rest - sleep.

First word sleep- is stylistically neutral, because the most common, can be used in any style of speech, has minimal expression; in the dictionary it is the first in the synonymous row. Word rest used mainly in book style, it gives speech an archaic character (as they said in the old days). Sleep - this synonym sounds rude (such words are called colloquial) and is used in colloquial speech.

2. What do you need to understand when completing this task? That colloquial words are words allowed in casual spoken language. And that they can only be used under certain conditions. In order not to replace one spoken word with another, the help of dictionaries is needed. We are helped by explanatory dictionaries of famous authors Ozhegov, Efremova, as well as Alexandrov’s dictionary of synonyms.

When searching for a word, pay attention to the notes: colloquial, simple and under no circumstances should we choose words with such marks as an answer.

Let's look at an example. We hesitated on the way, so we arrived at the appointed place in the dark

In Ozhegov’s dictionary: TO DELAY, I think, I think; Sovereign (colloquial). To linger, to stay longer than necessary somewhere; slow down Z. at a friend's place. Z. with the answer.

As can be seen from the article, this word does not have a neutral meaning, so you need to look for other words. As a rule, this word is already present in the interpretation, here it is - “to linger.” Alexandrov's practical dictionary of synonyms will help us find more synonymous words. While searching for the word “hesitate,” we come across an article with the word

HOLD and its meanings:

1. get stuck (colloquial)

/ about a person: hesitate;

sit down, get stuck, hesitate, linger, linger, bury, get lost (colloquial)

// visiting or at work: stay late (colloquial)

// visiting, staying (colloquial)

/ about business: slow down, drag out;

slow down, stall (colloquial)

Notice how many words are marked decomposition! Thus, we see that the word “hesitate” needs to be replaced with the neutral word DELAYED, and this is the most accurate, most correct answer. Neither “hesitate”, nor “slow down”, nor “linger” will suit us, because our word in a sentence has a certain meaning.

So, the algorithm for completing the task will be as follows:

1. Read the sentence and determine the lexical meaning of the word specified in the task.

2. Select possible synonyms for this word.

3. Determine which of these synonyms

− does not have a connotation of bookishness or conversationality;

− has minimal expression (that is, there is practically no emotion in it);

− stands first in the synonymous row, opening it.

4. Insert the word into the sentence; it must be suitable both in terms of grammatical characteristics and meaning.

3. Consider the specifics of entering an answer in the “answer” field

1) Enter the answer to ONE selected word (or phrase) in the answer field.

2) Check if the form of gender, number, tense, aspect is correct. Remember that we are replacing one word with another, so we cannot use perfect instead of imperfect, past tense instead of present, etc. Put the word in the SAME form as in the sentence.

3) Particles NOT, WOULD not need to be written in response.

4) Sometimes there are tasks in which the specified form in the task does not coincide with the form in the sentence. For example, in the condition “Replace the word throw. in the sentence..”, and in the sentence “thrown”. In this case, you need to write the form in the condition. If you come across such a task during the exam, be sure to draw the attention of your assistants to this fact, right up to writing an application.

5) Due to the fact that the number of synonyms can reach 5-6 words, the editor enters NO MORE THAN THREE words in the “answer” field.

The rest - possible, acceptable or impossible - are written in the explanation of the task. We strongly recommend that you do not suggest new words, but stick to the rule: the most correct word is FIRST in a series of synonyms. And then you will certainly receive a point for this task.
