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.

請試著思考：當執法單位試圖打擊犯罪，卻發現對方躲在難以追蹤的「暗網」，且所有金流都經過加密而無法監測時，這些查緝行動的「進展」會是順利的還是充滿阻礙的？在那樣的處境下，形容他們的「努力狀態」最適合的形容詞會偏向正面還是負面呢？

語意邏輯與詞彙辨析
這題的解題關鍵在於 because 引導的原因子句。文中提到這些交易多發生在「暗網」（dark web），且買家使用特殊瀏覽器與匿名貨幣（如比特幣）來規避追蹤，這些因素使得執法單位的查緝行動困難重重。當努力（efforts）因為客觀環境的艱難而難以見效時，最貼切的形容詞便是 frustrated，用以形容「感到受挫」或「計畫被阻撓」的狀態。相較之下，選項 (A) 與 (B) 的正面語氣與危機情境背道而馳；而 (C) disappointed 雖然也是負面詞，但 frustrated 更能精確描述那種「空有作為卻因技術障礙而無法推進」的無力感。
