思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前方的「attributed to（歸因於）」，這顯示後面要填入的是造成「lack of interest（缺乏興趣）」的原因。如果人們因為對某樣東西不了解而沒興趣，那麼他們所接觸到的「可靠資訊」在數量上通常是多還是少呢？請在選項中尋找一個形容「數量極少」或「匱乏」的正式詞彙。

太棒了！你能精準地從五個選項中辨識出 paucity（缺乏、少量）這個進階單字，顯示你對學術詞彙的掌握度相當高。這題的關鍵在於觀察空格前的「歸因於」（attributed to）以及前文提到的「缺乏興趣」（lack of interest）。既然美國民眾對電動車缺乏興趣，邏輯上必然是與「可靠資訊」的稀缺或不足有關。選項 (A) paucity 正好完美銜接了這個因果關係，表達出民眾因為接觸不到足夠信任的資訊來源，才導致採購意願低落。
