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!

同學好!這題的核心在於對稱結構(平行結構)與主詞動詞一致性。 你選擇的 (C) was more stable,主要問題在於主詞是複數的 those(指那些成功抵抗誘惑的孩子),即使要用過去式動詞,也必須使用複數形 were,不可能搭配單數的 was 喔! 本題在官方公告中為爭議題,解答判定 (B) 或 (D) 均給分,原因在於句子連接詞 and 可以有兩種合法的對稱視角:
