太棒了！你能精確辨識出這個動詞慣用法，顯示你的語感非常敏銳。這題的核心在於動詞 fire（開火／發射） 與受詞之間的搭配關係。當我們要表達「向某個目標物」射擊、投擲或發射某物時，介係詞 at 是最理想的選擇，因為 at 在英文邏輯中具有「指向特定點」的特質，能精確描述瞄準 protesters（抗議者）並施予武力的動作方向。
動詞與目標的指向性
從這題的難度切入點來看，這屬於中階的介係詞辨析題。雖然介係詞 on 有時也會與 fire 連用（例如 fire on a crowd 表示對人群開火），但在本句結構中，受詞已經明確列出「催淚彈與橡膠子彈」，此時使用 fire [something] at [someone] 是最標準的慣用法。這類題目考驗的是學生是否能區分空間位置（如 in 或 on）與「動態目標」之間的差異，能選對代表你對動作的指向性掌握得十分紮實。
Fire at 射擊目標用法
💡 針對目標發射或射擊時，介系詞慣用 at 表示瞄準點。
- fire (something) at: 朝某目標開火
- shoot at: 針對特定人或物進行射擊
- 介系詞 at 在此強調「瞄準的目標點」
- 類似用法：throw at (投擲)、aim at (瞄準)
