Answer:

D. vocabulary equivalence

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. conceptual equivalence

B. experiential equivalence

C. idiomatic equivalence

D. vocabulary equivalence

This is an example of the problem of vocabulary equivalence. Languages are not built in the same way, and therefore, we do not always have an equivalent word in English to translate every word of a foreign language. In this example, the word "mokusatsu" was not exactly equal to any word in English. Therefore, the translator is tasked with having to find a word in English that most closely resembles it. The focus of the translator should be on the meaning of the word, even if this has to be conveyed through several words.

What resulted from the emergence of the Soviet Union and the United States
fredd [130]

US and the USSR emerged as the two greatest powers for two reasons. Firstly, they had plenty of recourses and manpower, and the industry to use them. Both the US and the USSR had lots of factories, so they could turn their iron, coal, steel, and oil into goods. They could also use these resources to rebuild their Nations, although in the case of the US this was not necessary. This bring me to my second point, they were the only ones left. The British were bankrupt and London was in ruins, at the same time their colonies were diserting them, France was bankrupt as well, and was also losing its colonies. In addition France never had the industry or population of even Britian. Germany was being occupied, so that gets them out of the picture. China was in the middle of a civil war, and did not have very much industry. Japan was in ruins, and was occupied. I would add that despite its problems Japan was able to become a powerhouse. There are other reasons, but it would take to long to write
