Concerned about the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made cookies and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie __37__ a strip of paper inside with an inspirational Bible quotation on it. However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune cookie first __38__ in either 1907 or 1914 in San Francisco, created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara.

請觀察空格後面的片語「... the cookie's origin back to 13th- and 14th-century China」，這句話的主詞是單數還是複數？如果要表達「將歷史或起源追溯到某個時代」，英語中通常會搭配哪個動詞與介系詞 back to 連用？

太棒了，選 traces 完全正確！
句型結構與固定搭配
這題的核心在於文法判斷與動詞慣用語。句首的主詞是 One of these stories（單數主詞），後面緊接受詞與介詞片語「the cookie’s origin back to ...」，此處缺少本動詞。看到介系詞 back to，立刻就能聯想到慣用片語 trace ... back to ...（將……追溯至……），且因主詞為第三人稱單數，動詞需加 -s，選項中只有 traces 完美符合文法與語意。
