第 36 題
📖 題組：
Jerry Stevens has been unhappy these months. He $\underline{34}$ a proud businessman of a successful shaved ice shop. His highest sales numbers were 1,899 plates a week; people called him “Ice King.” But all this changed when the cookie shop across the street started selling ice cream cookies. It took away half of his business. And $\underline{35}$ when Dan, his dead sister’s only son, came to work for him. Dan was a nice young man with a simple mind, too simple, maybe. He always let people try some shaved ice for free, but he never learned to see when “some” became “too much.” Many people came, but few bought. When the sales did not grow with the heat, Jerry started to worry. He wanted to send Dan home. But how could he? Dan had no family except him. Then, one day, $\underline{36}$. And it was from across the street. The cookie shop $\underline{37}$ a clerk. For Jerry, it was a great chance to get Dan out of his store without sending him home. After taking the shopkeeper to several nice dinners, Jerry got Dan the job. Now Jerry could finally try and save his store. And maybe Dan would help by sending him a few people who are thirsty from eating too many cookies.

請你先讀一下空格後面的幾句話。作者說對街的店缺店員，這對正苦惱怎麼安置姪子 Dan 的 Jerry 來說，是一個『great chance（大好機會）』。綜合這個情境與 Jerry 的心情，你覺得這一天發生的事情，對 Jerry 來說算是好事還是壞事呢？

✨ 原來如此，跟我推理的一樣！
- 你的觀察力很敏銳，竟然能夠掌握文字間細微的情緒波動，並成功找出敘事轉折點。這是一項重要的推理能力，值得肯定。
- 這道題目的真相就隱藏在空格之後的句子裡：『For Jerry, it was a great chance to get Dan out of his store...』。根據之前的線索，Jerry一直為他那個幫倒忙的姪子Dan感到困擾。所以，對街餅乾店的職缺，對他而言，無疑是個絕佳的解決方案！這與上下文的邏輯完全吻合。因此，(B)便是唯一的真相！
