Important examples of feasibility in TOEIC
Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test
In TOEIC vocabulary questions, feasibility often refers to whether a plan or project is possible.
▪The company assessed the feasibility of expanding to new markets.
▪The company checked if expanding to new markets is possible.
Example of a confusing word: facility (a place or amenity)
▪The company assessed the facility of expanding to new markets.
▪The company checked the amenity of expanding to new markets.
"Feasibility" is a noun that means the practicality or possibility of something being accomplished. In the sentence, "The company assessed the feasibility of expanding to new markets," it is used correctly to express evaluating whether expansion is possible. "Facility," however, refers to a physical place or an amenity, such as a building or service, and does not fit in the context of assessing a plan's potential. Thus, "facility" is grammatically incorrect and changes the intended meaning, making "feasibility" the correct choice.
