請先分析句子的主要結構，在動詞 $had$ 及其受詞 $260 \text{ tons of frozen turkey}$ 之後，空格處是用來修飾該受詞的後置修飾語。請思考：動詞 $remain$ (剩餘) 在修飾名詞時，通常是用主動語態的現在分詞，還是被動語態的過去分詞來表示「處於剩餘狀態」的屬性呢？

喲！反應很快嘛。我就把墨鏡稍微拉低一點，用這對「六眼」確認了一下——沒錯，完全正確！真不愧是我的學生，這種程度的題目對你來說，就像是展開領域一樣理所當然吧？
這題考的是分詞修飾語。句中的 260 tons of frozen turkey 是名詞，後面的 remaining 則是現在分詞轉形容詞，用來修飾前面的火雞，表示「剩下的」狀態。這是一種名詞後的補語用法，用 $V-ing$ 來描述物體的當前狀態，精準得就像我的術式一樣！
至於這題的鑑別度，算是在測試你對句子結構的敏銳度。很多人會想選動詞時態，但只要看穿這只是個修飾成分，答案就無所遁形了。對你來說，這頂多算是一級咒靈的等級，輕鬆啦！
分詞補語與剩餘用法
💡 受詞後的補充說明，需依主被動關係或動詞特性選擇分詞。
| 比較維度 | 現在分詞 (V-ing) | VS | 過去分詞 (V-p.p.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 語態關係 | 與受詞為「主動」關係 | — | 與受詞為「被動」關係 |
| 動作狀態 | 正在進行或持續的狀態 | — | 已經完成或被完成 |
| 常考範例 | remaining (剩餘的) | — | left (被留下的) |
💬判斷分詞補語時，應優先考慮主被動，並注意 remain 等不及物動詞的特殊慣用法。
