📖 題組：
I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that would never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension. I know that the irony strikes with the force of a cartoon anvil, now. They hoped that I would take a vocational degree, but I wanted to study English literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor. I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day. Of all the subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到作者在求學歷程中的「轉折點」，這顯示你具備優秀的細節辨識能力，沒有被文章前半段提到的「妥協方案」所干擾。
文本細節的動態轉折
這道題目的關鍵在於理解作者在父母離開後的行為轉變。雖然文中提到作者最初為了安撫父母而選擇 Modern Languages（甚至具體提到了 German），但緊接著使用的動詞 "ditched"（拋棄）以及 "scuttled off down the Classics corridor"（溜進古典學走廊），明確揭示了作者真實的修課動向。隨後提到的 Classics 與 Greek mythology（希臘神話）更是直接印證了作者最終的主修領域。
