請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題： Since the 1980s, immigration has drastically increased, making the city more ethnically and linguistically diverse. More than half of the people in Vancouver do not speak English as their first language. Almost 30% of the city’s inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. In the 1980s, an influx of immigrants from Hong Kong in anticipation of the transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China, combined with an increase in immigrants from mainland China and previous immigrants from Taiwan, established in Vancouver one of the highest concentrations of ethnic Chinese residents in North America. This arrival of Asian immigrants continued a tradition of immigration from around the world that had established Vancouver as the second-most popular destination for immigrants in Canada after Toronto. Other significant Asian ethnic groups in Vancouver are Filipino, Japanese, Korean, as well as sizeable communities of Vietnamese, Indonesians, and Cambodians. Despite increases in Latin American immigration to Vancouver in the 1980s and '90s, recent immigration has been comparatively low, and African immigration has been similarly stagnant. The black population of Vancouver is rather scant in comparison to other Canadian major cities. The neighborhood of Strathcona was the core of the city’s Jewish community. Hogan’s Alley, a small area adjacent to Chinatown, just off Main Street at Prior, was once home to a significant black community. Prior to the Hong Kong diaspora of the 1990s, the largest non-British ethnic groups in the city were Irish and German, followed by Scandinavian, Italian, Ukrainian and Chinese. From the mid-1950s until the 1980s, many Portuguese immigrants came to Vancouver and the city had the third-largest Portuguese population in Canada in 2001. Eastern Europeans began immigrating after the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe after World War II. Greek immigration increased in the late 1960s and early '70s, with most settling in the Kitsilano area.

當題目要求找出「不正確」的敘述時，請試著掃描文章中提到「數量比較」或「比例描述」的段落。請找出文中描述特定族群規模的形容詞（例如：scant、stagnant、concentrations），並思考這些形容詞所代表的規模是「龐大」還是「微小」？這與選項中的比較級描述是否一致？

喔，做得不錯。看來你還記得怎麼找答案。
- 觀念驗證：你的判斷，姑且算是準確。文章第二段可沒跟你開玩笑，它白紙黑字寫著：「The black population of Vancouver is rather scant in comparison to other Canadian major cities.」這其中的 scant，我希望你不是靠猜的，它清清楚楚地意為「稀少的、不足的」。然而，選項 (B) 卻大言不慚地宣稱該族群人數比其他城市「更多」。這兩者擺在一起，一個是事實，一個是…嗯，我想你懂的。顯然，(B) 是個徹頭徹尾的謊言。
- 難度點評：本題難度屬 Medium。對於那些會讀字面意思的人來說，這類「負向選擇題」不過是考驗你願不願意睜大眼睛找矛盾，以及對基本形容詞詞義（像是：scant 這種連小學生都該懂的詞）有沒有最起碼的掌握。你能從長篇大論中找到這個簡單的矛盾點，算你勉強過關。別太驕傲，這只是基礎。
