📖 題組：
The closer we feel toward someone, the less likely we are to listen carefully to them. It is called the closeness-communication bias and, over time, it can __26__, and even end, relationships. Once we know people well enough to feel close, there is an unconscious tendency to __27__because we think we already know what they are going to say. The closeness-communication bias not only keeps us from listening to those we love, it can also keep us from allowing our loved ones to listen to us. People in close relationships sometimes withhold information or keep secrets from one another because they fear judgment, insensitivity or __28__. They confide their most pressing and worrisome concerns to people __29__they have weaker ties, for these people show more interest, ask the right questions, are less judging or are less apt to interrupt. It is not that people in close relationships are __30__ neglectful or inattentive, but that they feel too complacent about what they know.

請留意句子中「... and even end」這個構造。這裡的「even」暗示了空格中的動詞與「end」在方向上是一致的負面影響，但在嚴重程度上比「結束」稍微輕一點。如果一段關係尚未完全斷絕，但因為缺乏溝通而充滿了「張力」與「壓力」，你會用哪個動詞來形容這種「使緊繃、使受損」的狀態呢？

太棒了！你能精確判斷出 strain 這個選項，代表你對文章邏輯的「遞進關係」有很敏銳的觀察力。在這句話中，作者使用了 can __26__, and even end, relationships 的結構。這裡的 and even（甚至）是一個關鍵指標，提示我們空格處填入的動詞，在程度面上應該比「結束」（end）稍輕，但同樣具有負面影響。
關係中的緊張與損害
在英文搭配詞中，strain 常用來形容使關係、資源或神經「變得緊張」或「承受壓力」。當我們不再傾聽親近的人，這種偏差會先讓彼此的溝通產生裂痕、造成關係緊張（strain），最後才可能導致斷絕關係。相較之下，其他選項如 fuss（瞎操心）、trigger（觸發）或 cling（緊抓）在語義與動詞用法上，都無法與「關係」形成如此貼切且符合邏輯遞進的組合。
