Correct answer: stand

Explanation: The verb 'stand' is in the present tense, which is appropriate here as it describes the ongoing impact of Zaha Hadid's designs. This fits grammatically and contextually, as the sentence discusses her designs that are recognized for their unique characteristics.

Meaning: 'Stand' means to be in a specified position or to be recognized in a certain way.

Wrong options:

  • torn: 'Torn' is the past participle of 'tear,' which does not fit the context of describing designs that are recognized positively.
  • generate: 'Generate' means to produce or create, which does not align with the context of designs being recognized for their qualities.
  • edit: 'Edit' refers to making changes to something, which is not relevant to the context of designs standing out.
Correct answer: left

Explanation: The verb 'left' is in the past tense, which is necessary here to indicate that Zaha Hadid made her impact before her death in 2016. This aligns with the timeline presented in the sentence.

Meaning: 'Left' means to have made a lasting impact or to have caused something to remain.

Wrong options:

  • torn: 'Torn' does not fit as it refers to a physical state of being ripped or damaged, which is unrelated to her impact.
  • generate: 'Generate' implies creating something new, which does not apply to the context of leaving a mark on architecture.
  • edit: 'Edit' does not relate to the concept of leaving a mark; it suggests altering something rather than making a lasting impact.
Correct answer: win

Explanation: The verb 'win' is in the base form, which is appropriate here as it describes an achievement that Zaha Hadid accomplished. This fits grammatically and contextually, as it highlights her historic accomplishment in architecture.

Meaning: 'Win' means to achieve victory or success in a competition or award.

Wrong options:

  • torn: 'Torn' does not fit as it refers to a physical state and does not relate to winning an award.
  • left: 'Left' is the past tense of 'leave,' which does not convey the action of achieving an award.
  • generate: 'Generate' implies creating something, which does not apply to the context of winning an award.
Correct answer: celebrated

Explanation: The verb 'celebrated' is in the past participle form, which is appropriate here as it describes how her works are recognized in the present. This aligns with the context of discussing her works being acknowledged for their qualities.

Meaning: 'Celebrated' means widely praised or recognized for excellence.

Wrong options:

  • torn: 'Torn' does not fit as it refers to a physical state and does not relate to the recognition of works.
  • generate: 'Generate' implies creating something, which does not apply to the context of celebrating her works.
  • edit: 'Edit' does not relate to the recognition of works; it suggests altering rather than celebrating.
