📖 題組：
In 1881 a young woman named Mabel Loomis Todd wrote her parents about “the character of Amherst…a lady whom the people call the ‘Myth’: she has not been outside of her own house in fifteen years…. She dresses wholly in white, and her mind is said to be perfectly wonderful.” So began the legend of Emily Dickinson, one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century, who was for years portrayed by biographers and critics as an eccentric recluse, a “little home-keeping person,”a mad spinster who had been disappointed in love. For, four years after this New England woman in white died in 1886, the same Mabel Loomis Todd brought out a volume containing selections from 1,776 strange and passionate poems, which had been found, neatly sewed into booklets, in her bureau drawers, and the imagination of the pubic was immediately seized by the mysterious discrepancy between what seemed to be the isolation of Dickinson’s life and the intensity of her art. To many, indeed, the “case” of Emily Dickinson－only eight of whose poems had been published in her lifetime－seemed to offer a crucial model for the situation of the woman poet. Eccentricity, reclusiveness, and most of all, thwarted romance－these appeared to be the conditions that might drive a woman to what was, for women, the perversity of writing verses.

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 觀念驗證：文中提到 Dickinson 的作品是 "strange and passionate poems"（奇特且充滿激情的詩作），並特別強調其藝術具有 "intensity"（強烈感）。這些關鍵字直接證明了她的詩歌風格在當時是非常獨特 (unique) 且與眾不同的，故 (C) 為正確選項。
- 難度點評：本題難度評為 Medium。這題具有高度鑑別度，學生必須分辨哪些敘述是關於「生平傳聞」（如：穿白衣、隱居），哪些是關於「藝術成就」，並能正確排除掉文章未提及的細節（如：色盲或寫小說）。
