Some cultures are found to show preference for dimples on one’s cheeks, as the feature is claimed to be a sign of __32__ . Though often associated with beauty, most dimples are actually a genetic __33__ caused by shortened facial muscles. When a person smiles, the shorter-than-normal muscle pulls up the facial skin, which in turn creates a small indentation—or dimple—in the skin. Such dimples tend to occur in families, and are assumed to be an inherited feature. In fact, some researchers believe that the __34__ of dimples from parents to children takes only one gene. If neither of the parents has dimple genes, their children will not __35__ the trait. Not all dimples are formed by a genetic defect, though; some may appear due to the __36__ of excessive fat on the face. Such dimples are not a permanent trait, for they vanish when the excessive fat goes away. Many babies, for example, have dimples on their __37__ cheeks.

請觀察分號前後的句子：前半句用 'Generally'（通常）描述酒窩常成對出現，那麼後半句描述『只出現在單側』的情況時，兩者在發生頻率上會呈現什麼樣的對比關係呢？

太棒了，精準鎖定前後文的語意邏輯！
前後對比與詞性判斷
這題空格前有副詞 relatively（相對地），後接名詞 phenomenon（現象），因此空格處需要填入形容詞來修飾名詞。在前一分句提到「一般而言，酒窩會出現在雙頰（appear on both cheeks）」，分號後緊接著轉折對比「只出現在單側臉頰的單個酒窩」，從「常態（generally）」推導至另一側，自然能判定單側是「相對罕見的」現象，因此選 rare 最為精確貼切。
