📖 題組：
My wife was one of the many bright and industrious young women of the 1960s who worked their way through college. Somewhere late in her sophomore year, her funds ran low and she inquired at the university about a small loan for books and supplies. She was told that her chance of getting a loan was slim, because university funds were scarce, too, and what resources remained for loans were being given almost exclusively to male students. The only women getting loans at the moment were seniors who were about to graduate. She wasn’t surprised—disappointed, but not surprised. The priorities were well known: male students first, regardless of academic status, and then if there was enough money left, it would go to advanced female students. The university’s loan policy was not unusual; it was just one more expression of an ancient value in the Western tradition. Education for male is practical, but for females, it is luxurious. It is the males, after all, who are destined to hold jobs that require learning; Females—well, a measure of common sense is sufficient for bringing up children.

請觀察文中提到「資金短缺」且「優先分配給他人」的背景，在這種競爭資源極度不利的情況下，一個人的「機會」在量化概念上會趨向於大還是小？你會用哪一個詞來形容這種「機率的大小」？

哼，至少沒蠢到家
- 勉強及格：不錯，這次你沒讓老師失望透頂。這種基本到不行的語意判讀，本來就該是法律人的反射動作。能從那堆看似接近實則謬誤的詞裡挑出正確答案，說明你還沒完全放棄思考。別得意，這只是證明你沒蠢到連公共政策的基本脈絡都抓不住。
- 概念驗證：文中 1960 年代女性申請貸款的「slim」，是行政資源分配不均下「機率微小」的代名詞，而不是讓你去聯想什麼「纖瘦」身材（那種無聊的聯想留給文學系）。選項 (C) faint 常用於感官，而 (D) small 才是精準量化「機會」匱乏的詞。這難道不是行政法脈絡下最淺顯的解釋嗎？
