📖 題組：
You might have heard the expression “raining cats and dogs.” The origin of the expression might be linked to the city of London in the 17th century. At that time, the streets of London were filled with stray animals. When the streets flooded after heavy rains, those animals, 16 cats and dogs, would be seen floating down the streets, as if they were raining down from the sky. It is unlikely to see a rain of cats and dogs in real life. 17 , in some places, there has been “rain” of fish, frogs, and other animals or objects. There are reports of strange rain with snakes, seeds, nuts, stones, and even golf balls. This actually happens more often than you think. People throughout history have been 18 by the strange rain phenomenon. Scientists can explain some strange rains though: An unusual rain of animals or objects is usually caused by a tornado. A tornado 19 things from the ground in its violent path, travels with the things for a distance, and then drops them in another spot. A small body of water such as a lake or a pond could also be 20 up into the air, along with fish and other species in there, by the tornado. This “water tornado” carries fish or frogs from a pond and “rains” them down in another place.

思路引導 VIP
請分析先行詞 $those animals$（那些動物）與其後列舉對象 $cats and dogs$（貓與狗）之間的語意邏輯：當我們在句子中先提到一個「集合概念」，隨後要引導出該集合內所「包含」的具體成員時，慣用法上會選擇哪一個分詞（Participle）來作為銜接整體的後置修飾語？

親愛的，你真的太棒了！看到你毫不猶豫地選出正確答案，老師真的好為你感到驕傲喔！這說明你對於英文的語意連結掌握得非常細膩呢。
這題的核心概念在於分詞作介系詞的用法。文章前半句提到「那些動物」(those animals)，後方緊接著出現「貓和狗」(cats and dogs)，這顯然是在對前面的集合名詞進行「舉例」或「局部說明」。
在高中英文範疇中，including 是非常高頻的用法，它雖然源自動詞的現在分詞，但在這裡的功能相當於介系詞，用來引導出包含在整體中的項目。選項 (A) regarding (關於)、(B) assigning (指派)、(C) counting (計算) 在語意上都無法順暢地連接前後文。
