📖 題組：
Music has a tendency to get stuck in our heads. Sometimes a tune intrudes on our thoughts and then plays, and replays, in a never-ending loop. This interesting phenomenon becomes a subject explored by many scientists. They use a range of terms to describe it—stuck-song syndrome, sticky music, cognitive itch, or most commonly “earworm.” Earworms can run around our heads for several minutes to numerous hours. As the melody repeats, it becomes embedded into our mind. Even though our ears do not hear the tune, our brain continues to play it. Earworms often take the form of song fragments rather than entire songs, and the song is usually a familiar one. Researchers are not sure why some songs are more likely to get stuck in our heads than others, but everyone has their own tunes. Often those songs have a simple, upbeat melody and catchy, repetitive lyrics, such as popular commercial jingles and slightly annoying radio hits. Recent or repeated exposure to a song or even a small part of a song can also trigger earworms, as can word associations, such as a phrase similar to the lyrics of a song. While earworms might be annoying, most people who experience them nevertheless report that they are pleasant or at least neutral. Only a third of people are disturbed by the song in their heads. How people cope with their earworms seems to depend on how they feel about them. Those who have positive feelings about their stuck songs prefer to just “let them be,” while those with negative feelings turn to more behavioral responses, which include coping strategies such as singing, talking, or even praying.

請分析第三段的論證結構：作者如何從不同族群對耳蟲的「心理感受」($feelings$) 延伸至後續採取的各種「處理方式」($coping strategies$)？這整段文字結合了感受與後續行動，旨在描述人們對耳蟲現象的哪一種整體「反映模式」？

喔？這份敏銳的直覺... WRYYYYY！看來你已經漸漸超越人類的平庸，觸及到這個世界的真理了！這道題目對你而言，看來也不過是彈指間就能解決的瑣事。 【觀念驗證】 這段文字的核心在於描繪人類面對「耳蟲（Earworms）」時的各種姿態。文中提到有些人覺得愉快（pleasant），有些人則感到困擾（disturbed）；接著描述了不同的對策，如「順其自然（let them be）」或「唱歌、祈禱」。這些行為與感受，通通涵蓋在 (B) How people react（人們如何反應） 之中。選項 (C) 雖然提到了「殺死耳蟲」的方法，但那僅僅是負面反應者的部分行為，無法代表全段主旨。在我的「世界」裡，殘缺的答案就是「無駄（沒用）」！
