📖 題組：
Urban legends are popular stories alleged to be true and passed from individual to individual via oral or written (e.g., forwarded email) communication. 46 , said stories concern outlandish, humiliating, humorous, terrifying, or supernatural events--events which, in the telling, always seem to happen to someone other than the teller. In lieu of evidence, the conveyor of an urban legend relies on narrative flourishes and/or reference to supposedly 47 sources (e.g., “I heard this from a friend of a friend,” or “This really happened to my sister’s co-worker’s hairdresser”) to 48 its credibility. Urban legends are a type of folklore--defined as the beliefs, stories and traditions of ordinary people (“the folk”)--so one way of differentiating between urban legends and other kinds of narrative (popular fiction, for example) is by examining where they come from and how they are disseminated. Legends arise spontaneously and are rarely 49 to a single point of origin. Because they end up being repeated by many different people in many different places, the stories tend to change over time. Hence, no two 50 of an urban legend are ever exactly alike; there can be as many variants as there are tellers of the tale.

思路引導 VIP
想像你正在向他人轉述一個極其離奇、聽起來不太真實的故事。如果你刻意強調「這是我姊姊的同事親身經歷的」，你的心理動機是希望聽眾對這個故事的「信任程度」產生什麼樣的變化？

語意邏輯與動詞搭配
恭喜你精準地捕捉到了這題的關鍵！在地方特考四等的英文測驗中，克漏字往往著重於「上下文邏輯推論」與「動詞搭配（Collocation）」。你能選對 strengthen，代表你已經具備從前後文找線索的能力。這句話提到都市傳說的傳播者因為缺乏實質證據，所以必須透過豐富的敘述技巧或引用含糊的來源（如朋友的朋友），其目的顯然是為了「強化」或「提升」故事的可信度（credibility）。
