思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話的後半段使用了 "can now"（現在可以）來描述當前的交通狀況。那麼，當句子前半段提到 "once"（曾經、一度）這個詞時，它所引導的動作是在什麼時間點發生的？我們應該選擇哪種形式的動詞，才能精確表達那個已經成為過去的狀態呢？

過去與現在的時態對比
這道題目的解題關鍵在於辨識句中的時間對照點。句子前半段提到 "Journeys that once..."（曾經...的旅程），這裡的副詞 once 是最重要的語意指標，明確指涉過去發生的狀態。為了與後半句的 "can now be completed"（現在可以完成）形成鮮明的今昔對比，動詞必須使用過去式。在選項中，(A)、(B) 為現在式，(C) 是過去分詞（通常需接在助動詞後），唯有 (D) took 是正確的簡單過去式動詞，符合敘述需求。
