請看一下這句話的前半段提到「出生時沒有……（born without...）」，而後半句卻說可以透過化妝或手術來「創造（create）」酒窩。想一想，後天的外力創造，通常是為了彌補哪一種性質的酒窩呢？

太棒了，你的語感與前後文對照非常精準！
前後文對比與語意邏輯
從文法結構來看，空格位於介系詞 without 與名詞 dimples 之間，需要一個形容詞來修飾。再觀察前後文脈絡，前文提到「出生時沒有……（born without...）」，後文則接著說明可以透過化妝甚至手術等「人為方式創造酒窩（create them）」。因此，這裡形成強烈的**「先天／後天」對比**，填入 (I) natural（天生的、天然的）最為貼切自然。
