前一句提到旁人都認為他瘋了、在浪費時間金錢，但句首用了轉折詞『But』，且後文說他『繼續埋頭苦幹』；面對周遭人們的不看好，主角最可能對這些冷言冷語做出什麼反應？

太棒了，選 (G) ignored 完全正確！
上下文轉折與代名詞線索
解這道題的關鍵在於轉折語氣與動作的合理性。前一句提到旁人認為他在浪費時間與金錢（people thought he was crazy），接著出現轉折詞 But（但是），代表 Kareem 並沒有因此停下腳步；後方的對等動詞又是「持續在土地上耕作（kept working...）」。在文意上，面對大家的冷嘲熱諷，他選擇「不理睬、忽視（ignored）」他們（them 指代 people），文意最為通順流暢，且時態（過去式及物動詞）完全吻合。
