Dimples are small folds or indentations on the cheeks of one’s face. Generally, they appear on both cheeks; a single dimple on one cheek is a relatively __31__ phenomenon. 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.

Not all dimples are formed by a genetic defect, though; some may appear due to the __36__ of excessive fat on the face.

前一句提到這類酒窩『會隨著過多脂肪消退而 vanish』，那麼當孩子長大、失去嬰兒肥時，空格處的動詞應該描繪酒窩產生什麼樣的變化，才能呼應前文的敘述呢？

太棒了，選 (E) fade 完全正確！
前後文語意呼應與詞性判斷
這題的解題關鍵在於「上下文同義呼應」。前一句提到嬰兒肥引起的酒窩並非永久特徵，「當脂肪消退時就會消失（they vanish when the excessive fat goes away）」。接著以長大後的過程為例，助動詞 may 後方需接原形動詞；既然嬰兒肥消失，酒窩自然會隨著時間「逐漸褪去、消失」，因此選 fade（褪色、逐漸消失）與前文的 vanish 完美對應，搭配成 fade with time 也極為自然。
