The statue of the "raging bull" is world renown. Seeing it and taking a photo of it is a must for tourists. Its popularity, however, is not just about its huge size and expressive pose. Do you know where the "raging bull", a 3,175 kg bronze, is located? What is the reason for its obvious might? It was created by the American-Italian sculptor Arturo di Modica and was meant to stand for "strength, power, and hope of the American people for the future". The figure was first delivered to the New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street, on December 15, 1989 as a Christmas present to the citizens. It was confiscated by city government, but the public vocalized their opinions so loudly that it was displayed in Bowling Green Park where it still remains, just south of the Stock Exchange and facing Broadway. Di Modica gave the gift because of the hopelessness felt by the people after the 1987 financial crisis on Wall Street. The bull became much more applicable in 2008 than in 1989 when it was first given.

請回頭看看文章最後一句話。當作者提到 2008 年這個時間點時，他是在描述銅牛「所在地點」的改變，還是在描述銅牛「對於人們的象徵意義」變得如何了呢？

錯誤資訊的邏輯拆解
為什麼選項 (D) 是錯誤的呢？文中明確提到，這座銅牛在被安置於鮑林格林公園 (Bowling Green Park) 後「在那裡停留至今」(still remains)。選項 (D) 卻宣稱它只是「暫時許可」且會在 「2008 年搬移」，這顯然與事實不符。事實上，原文提到 2008 年是因為當時的金融海嘯，讓這座代表「力量與希望」的銅牛比 1989 年剛落成時，在精神意義上更具代表性 (more applicable)，而非指涉地理位置的變遷。
