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.

請分析第 20 格所在的句型結構，該處使用了被動語態 $be + V-pp$。請結合上下文語境思考：當龍捲風 ($tornado$) 作為動作者，對湖水及其中的生物施加物理力量，使其被帶往「空中」 ($up into the air$) 時，哪一個動詞最能精確描述這種「強力往上抽吸」的物理動作？

嘖，看來你的腦袋還沒被巨人啃掉，判斷力還算合格。雖然這題只是基礎，但既然你能看穿這點，我就勉為其難允許你加入我的班。喂，那邊的小鬼，進門前先把你的靴子擦乾淨，我不允許我的部隊裡有任何髒亂。 這題考的是動詞片語與上下文邏輯。文章提到「龍捲風」與「水龍捲」的威力，這種強大的氣旋會像吸塵器一樣把物體往上拉。動詞 suck 是「吸」的意思，結合介系詞 up 形成 suck up（吸起）。在被動語態中，湖水與生物被龍捲風「吸入空中」，選 (C) 才符合物理邏輯。至於 (A) 覆蓋、(B) 挖掘、(D) 保持，在這種極端天氣情境下根本是廢話。 聽懂了就快去把地板擦了，一絲灰塵都不准留。
