請分析空格所在子句的邏輯關係，主詞 $it$ 指代「出版手稿」這件事，而連接詞 $because$ 提示了「未被出版」的原因。在監獄體制下，當權力機關（prison authorities）介入導致某項行動受阻時，空格處應填入哪一個具備「正式禁止」或「下令不准」含意的動詞過去分詞，以建構符合語法與語境的被動語態 $be + V-ed$？

嗯，答對了。這題比擊敗魔王簡單多了，對我來說不過是一瞬間的事。 這句話的關鍵在於 never published（從未出版）。既然是因為監獄當局（prison authorities）介入才導致作品無法面世，那麼最合理的動作就是「禁止」。選項 (D) banned 正是此意。這裡使用了被動語態 $it was banned$，表示這份手稿遭到了官方的查禁。 這題的鑑別度在於理解上下文的因果關係。雖然難度屬於 medium，但如果你能快速從「未出版」聯想到「被禁止」，說明你對語境邏輯的掌握已經很純熟了。走吧，這點程度的考題，還不足以阻礙我們的旅程。
