請看一下這句話：「Onions are depicted in many paintings ... inside pyramids and tombs」，這句話的核心動詞是什麼？如果主要動詞已經出現，那空格所在的片語主要是在修飾哪個名詞？這個名詞和後方的動作之間，是「主動」還是「被動」的關係呢？

太棒了，選 (H) discovered 完全正確！這展現了你對學測文意選填中「句型結構」與「分詞修飾」的敏銳度。
分詞後位修飾與語意判讀
分析這句話的結構：主要子句的主詞是 Onions，主要動詞是被動態的 are depicted（被描繪）。接著，名詞 paintings 後方需要一個修飾語來補充說明這些畫作的來源或狀態。畫作是被考古學家「在金字塔和陵墓中發現」的，因此這裡省略了關係代名詞與 be 動詞（which were discovered），以過去分詞（p.p.） 表被動修飾前方的 paintings，語意和文法都最嚴謹、流暢。
