請觀察空格後方的受詞「廣大的粉絲群」，並結合前文提到的「佔領了 71% 的市場」。如果你要形容一個品牌在短時間內，透過某種過程「匯聚」並「積累」起如此龐大數量的人眾，你會傾向使用哪一種語感的動詞，來表達這種從無到有、且規模巨大的「收集與堆疊」感呢？

核心語意與字詞搭配
這題的關鍵在於受詞 "a vast teenage fanbase"（廣大的青少年粉絲群）。在英文中，當我們要描述「累積、收集」大量且可觀的事物——無論是財富、數據，或是本題中的追隨者時，amass 是最貼切的選擇。這個動詞精準地捕捉了 Juul 在短短三年內迅速擴張、將零散的使用者「聚沙成塔」變成龐大勢力的動態過程，這也呼應了前文提到的 71% 市場佔有率。
