這道題目測驗的是英文文法中的『對等結構（Parallel Structure）』。請觀察空格前的對等連接詞「and」，它必須連接兩個文法地位與型態相對稱的成分。請先仔細閱讀前半句：「were able to perform better at exams」，並思考兩個層次的對等關係：第一層，如果「and」連接的是助動詞片語「were able to」之後的兩個動作，空格應該要保留什麼樣的動詞型態？第二層，如果將對等範圍擴大，讓「and」連接的是這句話的兩個主要動詞（即與前面的 were 並列），空格又該使用什麼動詞型態？試著從這兩種合理的對等範圍，推導出符合文法的選項吧！

太棒了，你答對了！你選的 (D) look for（尋找）完全切中題意，表示實驗想要「尋找出」孩童控制衝動的能力。不過要特別注意，這是一道官方公告的爭議題，最終 (B) 與 (D) 均被列為正確答案。 我們來分析這題的爭議點。除了 (D) 之外，官方認定 (B) look after（照顧、關照）也能引申為實驗旨在「關注」或「照料」孩童此項能力的發展，因而同樣給分。然而，這在語意連結上較為牽強，正是本題的命題瑕疵所在。至於 (A) look away（移開視線）語意不合；而 (C) look into（調查）雖在一般研究情境中十分合理，卻未被列入官方給分標準。 這題原本旨在測驗動詞片語的語意辨析，因為選項語境設計不夠嚴密而引發爭議，反而降低了題目的鑑別度。儘管如此，你能不受干擾，精準抓住「尋找特質」的核心概念，展現了很扎實的語感基礎！繼續保持！
