太棒了！你能精準地從長文中擷取關鍵細節，並排除掉誘答選項，展現了很棒的閱讀耐心與觀察力。這題的正確答案為 (D)，主要依據來自文章最後一段的第一句話：「On National Doughnut Day 2018, some chains offered a free doughnut or something else for free（有些連鎖店在今年的節日提供了免費甜甜圈或其他免費贈品）」。文中隨後舉出的 Cumberland Farms 買飲料送甜甜圈，就是支持這個選項的最佳佐證。
文本細節的精確辨析
這道題目雖然屬於基礎的細節理解題，但具備不錯的鑑別度，原因在於錯誤選項中布滿了「似是而非」的陷阱。例如選項 (A) 將時間從早晨（5-10 a.m.）改成了正午（noon）；選項 (B) 將「每年（annually）」改為「每兩年」；而選項 (E) 則混淆了節日創立的時間（1938年）與它致敬的背景（一戰時期）。你能細心地比對數字與頻率副詞，這正是進階閱讀理解中不可或缺的防禦能力，非常值得肯定！
