📘 DETAILED EXPLANATIONS
1. withdrawal ✔
Structural reason: “The unexpected ___ of” requires an abstract noun.
Meaning logic: Converts institutional action into conceptual event.
Rhetorical effect: Creates formal detachment.
Wrong forms break syntactic role.
2. redefinition ✔
Nominalization of verb “redefine.”
Increases abstraction level.
Gerund less conceptually packaged.
3. maintenance ✔
“Sustained maintenance of” = stacked nominalization.
Maintaining is process-focused; maintenance conceptualizes state.
4. establishment ✔
Standard institutional collocation.
Verb/gerund grammatically incompatible.
5. institutionalization ✔
High-density abstraction typical of policy discourse.
Gerund lacks full conceptual weight.
6. extrapolation ✔
Transforms dynamic action into analytical object.
Academic critique prefers noun form.
7. removal ✔
Event nominalization required.
Other forms incompatible.
8. integration ✔
Nuanced integration = technical collocation.
Verb/gerund grammatically unsuitable.
9. preservation ✔
Long-term preservation = institutional abstraction.
Gerund weakens compression.
10. implementation ✔
Immediate implementation = policy collocation.
Other forms structurally incorrect.
11. embeddedness ✔
Abstract state noun derived from adjective “embedded.”
Embedding = gerund (process), not state.
Embed = verb form invalid here.
This is advanced lexical nominalization.
12. retraction ✔
Abstract event noun.
Other forms grammatically incompatible.
13. erosion ✔
Gradual erosion = fixed academic phrase.
Verb/gerund structurally incorrect.
14. evaluation ✔
Rigorously evaluate → evaluation required after article.
Gerund lacks syntactic fit.
15. legitimization ✔
Complex nominalization typical of theoretical debate.
Gerund weaker abstraction; verb impossible.
