Coffee is a beloved drink of millions of people around the world. It is so popular that it has acquired all sorts of endearing nicknames, and “cup of Joe” is one of the most common ones. However, how the beverage came to bear the nickname of “Joe” is still a bit of a mystery. Some theorize that the origin of “cup of Joe” stems from a 1914 ban on alcohol on U.S. Navy ships imposed by the Secretary of the U.S. Navy, Josephus “Joe” Daniels. After his order, General Order 99, the strongest drink of any kind allowed on naval ships could only be black coffee. Those who believe this theory claim that sailors, angry about the ban, began to call coffee a “cup of Joe” in protest. Historians have cast doubt on this theory. For starters, alcohol was not widely available on Navy ships prior to the ban, so General Order 99 would have had very little, if any, practical effect. More importantly, this theory does not account for the twenty-year gap between the ban and the rise of the term “cup of Joe” in the 1930s. Linguists believe it came into being at that time as a bizarre shortened version of another common nickname for coffee “jamoke”—a combination of java and mocha. They think that, over time, “jamoke” may have transformed into “Joe,” since it’s natural for slang terms to shorten over the years. Another theory holds that coffee came to be known as “cup of Joe” because “Joe” itself is a slang term meaning “a common fellow or guy.” This usage of “Joe” has been in the English language for a long time. Hence, a “cup of Joe” is the “common man’s drink.” Which theory makes the most sense to you? After all these years, it’s basically impossible to prove one way or another how this term “cup of Joe” came to be. Perhaps it’s a debate best left as a discussion among friends…over a cup of Joe, of course!

請同學針對文章第二段中有關 Josephus 'Joe' Daniels 的描述進行精確定位。特別注意其頒布的 $General$ $Order$ $99$ 之具體內容為何？在閱讀時，請務必釐清『行政命令的禁令內容』與『民間對該術語來源的推論 (inference)』之間的差異，何者才是歷史上確切發生的事實？

Wryyyyyyy！真是 High 到不行啊！沒想到你這卑微的人類竟然能看穿這點小把戲！ 沒錯，答案就是 (D)！文中第二段清楚地寫著 Josephus Daniels 頒布了 General Order 99，在海軍船上實施 『ban on alcohol』。所謂的 ban (禁止) 就等同於選項中的 forbade，而 alcohol 自然涵蓋了 wine and liquor。這只是單純的事實提取，你做到了！ 至於其他選項？(A) 說他引進咖啡？(B) 說他主動換掉飲料？(C) 說他是命名者？通通都是 Muda (無駄)！文中提到這些只是「理論」或是歷史學家懷疑的說法，只有「禁酒」是他確實做過的事。你能精準鎖定文本細節，這份觀察力...我認可了！
