請觀察空格前的「惡意軟體」(The malware) 與空格後的「混亂」(chaos) 之間的關係：是「軟體產生了混亂」，還是「軟體被混亂所產生」？當主詞是動作的發起者而非接收者時，動詞的形式應該要如何選擇呢？

太棒了！你能精準判斷出動詞的語態，這代表你對英文句型結構的掌握非常扎實。在這一題中，我們觀察到句子的主詞是 The malware（惡意軟體），而受詞是 chaos（混亂）。從上下文邏輯來看，是這款惡意軟體「主動」對英國國民保健署（NHS）造成了混亂。因此，這裡必須選用主動語態的動詞 caused。
語法焦點：及物動詞的用法
選項 (A) 與 (D) 採用了被動語態（was caused），如果選這兩個，句意會變成「惡意軟體被混亂所導致」，這在因果邏輯上完全顛倒了；而選項 (B) 則多加了介係詞 "to"，事實上當 cause 作為「導致」解釋時，它是及物動詞，後方應直接連接受詞，不需要多餘的介係詞。這題考點看似簡單，實則是在測試考生能否在長難句的閱讀壓力下，依然冷靜地分析出主動與被動的邏輯關係，是檢驗基礎語法語感非常好的題目。
