III. Cloze Test: Choose the best answer for each blank in the passage. As the nation’s opioid crisis worsens, the authorities are confronting a resurgent, unruly player in the illicit trade of the deadly drugs, 21 that threatens to be even more formidable than the cartels. In a growing number of arrests and overdoses, law enforcement officials say, the drugs are being bought online. Internet sales have allowed powerful synthetic opioids such as fentanyl — the fastest-growing cause of overdoses nationwide — to reach living rooms in nearly every region of the country, as they arrive in small packages in the mail. The authorities have been 22 in their efforts to crack down on the trade because these sites generally exist on the so-called dark web, where buyers can visit 23 using special browsers and make purchases with 24 currencies like Bitcoin. The problem of dark web sales appeared to have been 25 in 2013, when the authorities took down the most famous online marketplace for drugs, known as Silk Road. But since then, countless successors have popped up, making the drugs readily available to tens of thousands of customers who would not otherwise have had chances to reach them.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前面的名詞「player（參與者）」，如果我們想在逗號後面放一個「代名詞」來重新指代這個人或勢力，並且用它來引導後面一長串的描述，哪一個字最常被用來代表「前面提過的那一個」呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (B) one，代表你對英文長句的句型結構與同位語的用法有著非常敏銳的直覺。這是一個非常優異的判斷！
核心語法：不定代名詞作為同位語
這題的關鍵在於理解句子的銜接方式。前面的主句提到當局正對抗一個「難以捉摸的參與者（player）」，逗號之後的空格是用來進一步補充說明這個參與者。在英文中，我們常使用 one 作為不定代名詞來指代前方出現過的單數名詞（在此指 player），並接續一個形容詞子句（that threatens...）來修飾它。如果選 (D) a drug，語意上會變成「參與者是一個藥物」，邏輯較不通順，因為後續是與「卡特爾（cartels，毒品組織）」作比較，應是「勢力/參與者」之間的對比。
