There are several __31__ stories about the origin of the fortune cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be entirely true. One of these stories __32__ the cookie’s origin back to 13th- and 14th-century China, which was then occupied by the Mongols. According to the legend, notes of __33__ plans for a revolution to overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily have been stuffed with sweet bean paste. The revolution turned out to be __34__ and eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty. This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid evidence that it inspired the creation of the __35__ we know of today as fortune cookies. Another __36__ claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles, created the fortune cookie in 1918. 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. The fortune cookie was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to American __39__ . He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years, Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and __40__ the thank-you notes with fortune notes. Such fortune cookies became common in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. after World War II.

語境與詞性雙重判斷
從文法結構來看，空格位於名詞 stories 前面，需要填入一個形容詞來修飾。後文接著提到幸運餅乾的起源有好幾種版本（蒙古抗暴、David Jung 以及 Makoto Hagiwara），彼此說法不一，因此使用現在分詞轉形容詞的 competing（相互競爭的、互相矛盾的）來修飾 stories 是最道地且合邏輯的用法。
