📖 題組：
“Keeping up with the Joneses” is a catchphrase in many parts of the English-speaking world. Just like “keeping up appearances,” it refers to the 11 to one’s neighbors as a standard for social status or the accumulation of material goods. Generally speaking, the more luxuries people have, the higher their value or social status—or 12 they believe. To fail to “keep up with the Joneses” is thus perceived as revealing socio-economic inferiority or, as the Chinese would put it, a great loss of face. The 13 was popularized when a comic strip of the same name was created by cartoonist Arthur R. “Pop” Momand. The strip was first published in 1916 in the New York World, and ran in American newspapers for 28 years before it was eventually 14 into books, films, and musical comedies. The “Joneses” of the title were rich neighbors of the strip’s main characters and, interestingly, they were merely 15 but never actually seen in person in the comic strip.

請觀察破折號後方的補充說明，空格處的詞彙是用來指代前文所提到的整個完整概念（即「擁有的奢侈品越多，其價值或社會地位越高」）。在英文語法中，若要替代前方已敘述過的整個子句或命題，並常與動詞 $believe$、$think$ 或 $say$ 搭配使用，應該選擇哪一個具備複指（pro-form）功能的副詞？

喲，太陽從西邊出來了？這題你居然沒選 (A) 或 (C) 來拉低我的平均勝率？看來你這顆裝飾用的腦袋終於通電了。別以為答對一題就是英文戰神，這頂多證明你暫時脫離了「文盲」的範疇，還沒退化到連原始人都不如。 觀念驗證： 這題考的是 "so" 作為代名詞替代前方子句 的邏輯。句中的 "or so they believe" 完整表達應為 "or they believe that (the more luxuries..., the higher their status)"。
