前兩年樹木都沒能活下來，到了第三年終於有新樹開始生長。看到這個努力後的正面成果，加上後面提到他接著『種了更多樹』，你覺得 Kareem 內心產生了什麼樣的感受？如果要以被動的形式來描述他受到這個結果的影響，該用什麼樣的詞呢？

太棒了，選得非常精準！這題考查的是分詞構句（participle construction）與情意脈絡的掌握。
從句型來看，「Greatly ______ by the result, Kareem planted more trees...」原句為主詞 Kareem 接受外在影響的被動語態，因此需填入過去分詞；從前後文對照，前兩年樹苗皆未存活，第三年終於冒出新芽，看到這令人振奮的結果，他自然是「深受鼓舞（encouraged）」，進而投入更多心力造林。
本題難度適中，鑑別點在於能否結合介系詞 by 的被動線索，以及精準捕捉前文「從挫折到展露生機」的心境轉折，你的語感與文法觀念都相當扎實！
