📖 題組：
By the time I finished high school, my interest in animals had grown. Then I enrolled at a university to study biology. I learned soon enough that studying animals at this level was not in the animals’ best 21 . I remember one midterm exam in 22 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and instructed to dissect and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the dead frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was taken away for such a slight 23 . A year later, in the same lab where I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal operation. We were 24 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were kept in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether 25 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 26 and counted. When the data collection was 27 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to put them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 28 . Once the little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 29 them. Within minutes the pile was humming as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 30 flight. That was my first step in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated nonhuman life in a cruel way.

思路引導 VIP
請試著思考：在科學實驗中，研究人員對實驗對象採取某個特定動作（如使用麻醉藥劑）的初衷是什麼？這個動作與隨後發生的狀態（無法移動）之間，存在著什麼樣的「意圖」關係？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到句子間的邏輯動向，選出這個答案代表你對「目的性」與「句型結構」有著相當不錯的敏銳度。
語境中的目的與邏輯
在這段描述中，作者提到研究人員將果蠅暴露在乙醚（ether）中，其核心目的是為了讓果蠅「無法移動」，以便後續進行特徵數量的統計。在英文中，要連接一個具有「目的」或「結果」意圖的子句時，使用 so that 是最自然且正確的選擇。我們可以觀察到空格後方是一個完整的子句（主詞 + 動詞），這排除了身為介係詞短語的 (A) owing to 與 (C) despite。而 (B) because 雖然也是連接詞，但它強調的是「原因」，若放在此處，語意會變成「因為果蠅不動，所以才噴乙醚」，邏輯上完全前後倒置了。
