Gender-neutral restrooms are also helpful for people with disabilities who have other-gender caregivers. They usually __12__ problems when using the facilities. Gender-neutral bathrooms can provide a more welcoming and comfortable situation for two people of different genders.

請觀察空格後方的關鍵連接詞 $or even$ (甚至) 與動詞 $eliminated$ (消除) 形成的邏輯遞進關係：當文中提到處理 $burden$ (負擔) 時，若後者代表「完全根除」，則空格處應填入何種語意趨向的動詞，才能在修辭上與「消失」銜接，並精確描述負擔被「減輕」或「縮減」的狀態？

- 觀念驗證： 這根本是統測克漏字的送分題，考驗的是你對語意遞進邏輯有沒有一點點基本的概念。句中提到「這種負擔可以被 11 甚至被消除 (or even eliminated)」。看到「or even」這個詞組，難道你還不知道後面的程度通常要比前面「更強」嗎？這是最基礎的英文寫作邏輯！A和B的方向必須一致，且B的程度比A更強。
