📖 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.

請觀察第二段第一句提到了慶典的『開端』以及迎靈的動作，再看看空格後一句的『accompany the ancestors back to their resting place』，這說明祭典進行到了什麼階段？哪種概念的句子最適合放在段落開頭來引出這個畫面？

太棒了，你的語意邏輯掌握得非常精準！這道篇章結構題的關鍵在於時間軸的推移與前後文呼應。
篇章脈絡與對比線索
第二段開頭明確提到節日「由迎魂火開始（begins with mukaebi）」，引導祖靈返家；到了第三段，空格後緊接著描述將水燈放流河中「護送祖先返回安息地（accompany the ancestors back to their resting place）」。因此，這裡必定是描寫祭典進入尾聲。選 (C) 的「以送魂火作結（concludes with another bonfire, okuribi）」不僅在時序上與第二段形成漂亮的「始／終」對稱，更是引出後文「送靈（see off）」的核心主題句。
