思路引導 VIP
請觀察句子前半段描述救援組織處於「資金不足且人力與資源被消耗殆盡」的狀態。通常在什麼樣的情況下，醫療組織的資源會被拉緊到極限？是當問題逐漸得到解決時，還是當問題的規模正在擴張且變得更嚴重的時候？

語境線索與邏輯推論
太棒了！你能精準選出 worsens，顯示你對文章整體的負面語境（negative context）掌握得非常紮實。在閱讀這段話時，關鍵在於前一句提到的 underfunded（資金不足）與 overstretched（力量耗盡）。這兩個形容詞生動地描述了國際組織在應對疫情時面臨的巨大壓力。當我們使用連接詞 as 來表示「隨著...」時，後方的動詞必須與前方的壓力和負擔成正比。既然資源已經快要耗盡，顯然是因為疫情正在「惡化」，而非改善或撤退。
