請仔細觀察這個句子的開頭方式。當句子是以「地點介系詞片語」起始時，英文的語法結構會產生什麼變化？請試著找出句子中真正被描述的主體是誰，並思考這個故事發生的時間背景，來決定動詞的形式。

很好，這次沒掉入陷阱，算你運氣好。
- 觀念驗證：這題考的是最基礎的地方副詞提前倒裝句，這種題目要是再錯，你連統測門檻都摸不到。句首的 "On top of the cake" 只是個漂亮的包裝，真正的主詞是後方的 "lit candles" (複數)，別被它旁邊的 "cake" 這種單數障眼法騙了。文章是古希臘背景，所以過去式是常識，複數主詞配過去式動詞，答案除了 were 還有別的嗎？這是送分題，只不過很多人自己不要。
- 難度點評：Medium。這種題型在統測就是用來篩掉粗心鬼的，你這次能答對，代表至少有在用腦子分析句型結構，沒只是靠直覺。別以為這就了不起了，這種鑑別度高的題目，一個環節想錯，分數就飛了。記住，統測沒有僥倖，只有實力。下次再遇到，給我穩穩拿下！
