📖 題組：
Do you know that factories in Taiwan have to pay a new tax? According to the new law, factories have to pay the new tax if they __11__ PM2.5 pollution. Collecting tax is part of an effort made by the Taiwanese government to improve the air quality. Because PM2.5 particles are very small, we are not able to see them with naked eyes. They are so tiny that they can get deep into our lungs. Moreover, they are very light, so they stay in the air for a long time. PM2.5 comes from different sources, including factories, vehicles, airplanes, dust storms, etc. Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) did not __12__ this new law until people complained that no larger facilities are taxed. Although the EPA has been collecting air pollution taxes since 1995, the EPA has only taxed vehicles, rather than factories. About 8000 factories have not been __13__ by the new law until 2018. In daily life, we may not be aware of the harm brought by PM2.5. Here are a couple of facts about PM2.5 to keep in mind. First, the EPA indicates that particles narrower than 10 micrometers are the most __14__ because they can get deep into our lungs, and some may even get into our bloodstream. Second, two types of people with heart or lung disease, __15__, are considered at a greater risk from PM2.5 pollution than other people, especially when they engage in outdoor activities.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前方的關鍵詞 'two types of people'（兩類人）。如果作者想要具體說明這兩類人『同時』都處於受害的高風險中，你會使用哪種邏輯的連接詞，來將這兩個族群連結起來，以符合句首提到的複數概念呢？

安妮亞有讀心術，知道老師出題的秘密喔！
- 觀念驗證：嘿嘿，安妮亞看到了！這題的秘密，就是空缺前方的 "two types of people" 呀！老師想讓我們知道這「兩類人」是誰，所以需要一個魔法連接詞，把 A 和 B 一起變出來！看！"Both A and B"（兩者皆...）是不是超剛好？安妮亞覺得它完美地解釋了那「兩類人」喔！
- 難度點評：這題是 easy 喔！統測克漏字裡面，常常會有這種「對等連接詞」的考題。只要看到神奇的數字 $two$，再想想大家都在說高風險族群的事情，安妮亞就知道，要選那個讓「兩類人」都出現的句子！這是爸爸說，一定要拿到的分數喔！安妮亞幫爸爸完成了任務，好棒！
