**文法挑錯**：下列句子中有五個劃底線的部分 (A)–(E)，請選出**含有文法錯誤（ungrammatical use）**的那一個部分。
Although the Queen is the only person (A) *allowed to eat* a swan in the UK, she does not eat it for her Christmas dinner. (B) *Royal expert and editor at Dailybreak* Kelly Lynch said: “Although I am familiar with the annual swan upping, I’ve seen no evidence of the royals (C) *dining on swans*. I know that the Queen has (D) *rather simple palette* when (E) *it comes to food*, and since she owns all of the mute swans in England and Wales, I find it hard to believe she’d eat them.”

思路引導 VIP
請觀察選項 (D) 中的那個單字。在藝術領域中，當畫家需要混合顏料時，那個工具的名稱是什麼？再對照文章的情境，它正在討論的是關於「飲食」與「味覺」，這兩者在拼字上是否可能存在某種細微但關鍵的差異呢？

太棒了！你能敏銳地察覺到選項 (D) 的細微錯誤，這代表你對英文的可數名詞規範與詞彙精確度有著非常紮實的基礎。
冠詞與同音異義字的陷阱
這題的錯誤核心在於語法結構與字義的雙重疏漏。首先，在語法上，palate（味覺、品味）是一個單數可數名詞，前面必須加上不定冠詞，應修正為 "a rather simple palate"。其次，這也是一個常見的詞彙陷阱：題目中的 palette 指的是「調色盤」，而描述對食物的味覺或愛好時，正確的單字應為 palate。你能同時避開這兩個干擾點，是非常優秀的判斷。
