📖 題組：
Obon, or the Bon Festival, is a Japanese holiday that honors the spirits of the dead. __31__ The festival usually lasts for four to five days in August. During this period, many people travel back to their hometowns and spend time with loved ones, both past and present. Though not a national holiday, Obon is surely one of the most traditional events of the year. Celebration often begins with mukaebi (welcoming fire), during which people make a small bonfire in front of their house to guide spirits upon their return back home. __32__ Food offerings are presented at house altars and temples. Some regions prepare horses made of cucumbers and cows made of eggplants, hoping that the spirits will come back to Earth quickly, on a horse, and leave slowly, riding the cow. __33__ Paper lanterns and offerings are sent floating down rivers to accompany the ancestors back to their resting place. Many areas will also organize bon-odori dances. The style of the dances varies from region to region but is normally based on the rhythms of taiko drums. Performers usually play on a tall stage with lanterns and banners strung all around. Participants, often dressed in light cotton kimonos, are encouraged to dance to the music around the stage. __34__ Originally dedicated to the deceased, the dances have now become a symbol of the summer festival themselves.

請觀察第 32 格前後的句子：前一句提到節慶「剛開始（begins with）」時引導靈魂回家的儀式，後一句則提到在家裡準備食物供品。那麼夾在兩者之間的句子，應該是描述與節慶哪個階段、什麼主題相關的傳統活動呢？

篇章脈絡與儀式流程
第二段聚焦於盂蘭盆節「初期的祭祀習俗」。前句提到以「迎魂火（mukaebi）」引導祖靈返家，空格後則描述在家中神龕與寺廟供奉食物。選 (A) 正好銜接這個時間軸，補充說明人們也會前往墓園（cemetery）清掃家族墓地並為先人祈禱，與前後文的「迎接祖靈」與「家庭祭祀」活動緊密串連，語意與情境最為契合。
