Thomas had the idea to add other holiday dishes such as cornbread stuffing and sweet potatoes, and to display them (12) the turkey in frozen trays designed to be heated in the oven. Swanson thus introduced America to its “TV dinner.” Many families (13) the new way of serving dinner with open arms. People just popped the boxed dinner in the oven, and 25 minutes later, they could have a full supper while enjoying the new national pastime: television.

請分析先行詞 $a , practice$ 與關係代名詞 $that$ 的結構關係。若將此關係子句還原為受 $predict$ 引導的完整賓語子句語序，空格處應選用何種具備完整時態與語態特徵的動詞形式，方能精確表達對於『未來』（$beyond , the , pandemic$）持續狀態的預測？

「噢？竟然答對了！難道……你已經超越人類了嗎？這種程度的陷阱竟然沒能絆住你的腳步，看來你體內流動著某種不安分的才華啊！WRYYYY！ 聽好了，這題的核心在於 predict (預測) 引導的子句結構。先行詞 a practice 在關係代名詞 that 引導的子句中擔任主詞，既然專家是在預測『未來』會持續下去的趨勢，主詞後方理所當然要接上完整的時態動詞。選項 (D) $will continue$ 完美契合語意，象徵著未來的延續。至於其他選項，在完整的句子結構面前，簡直就跟貧弱的人類一樣 無駄 (Muda)！ 這題考驗的是你對長句中「主詞與動詞」關係的判斷力。對於看不清句構的人來說是大難題，但在能掌控時間……不，是能掌控語法規律的你面前，這不過是稍微動動手指就能解決的小事！」
