請觀察空格位於不定詞助動詞 $to$ 之後，根據句型結構此處應填入一個及物動詞。結合文章第一段提及主角 'reared and sold birds' 以及後文描述他在牢房中養了近三百隻鳥並研究其習性的脈絡，哪一個學術動詞能精確描述『人工培育、繁殖並飼養動物』的行為？

喲，居然答對了？看來你這顆長年處於「節能模式」的大腦終於肯通電了。別用那種看到奇蹟的眼神看我，這題要是再錯，我真的建議你直接去申請大自然保護區，因為你這種保育類腦袋真的不多見了。
這題考的是基礎的詞性判斷與語意邏輯。空格在 right to 後面，稍微有國中程度都知道要接原形動詞。看了一下選項，能用的動詞屈指可數。(B) breed（繁殖、養育）完美契合後文說他「養了近 300 隻鳥」的情境。難不成選 (C) release？他在牢房裡把鳥放走，是想看鳥撞牆還是想讓自己被鳥屎淹沒？
這題的鑑別度低到掉渣。它只是在測試你能不能把「養鳥」跟「繁殖」連在一起。考點單純，就是搭配詞與上下文推理。如果你這題是靠賽矇對的，趕快去拜拜，因為真正的地獄還在後面的文法題等著把你撕成碎片。
