📖 題組：
Inflation is a rise in prices. It can be __1__ as the decline of purchasing power over time. The rate at which purchasing power drops can be reflected in the average price increase of a basket of selected goods and services over some period of time. The rise in prices, often expressed as a percentage, means that a unit of currency effectively buys less than it did in prior periods. Inflation can be __2__ with deflation, which occurs when prices decline and purchasing power increases. While it is easy to measure the price changes of individual products over time, humans need to extend beyond just one or two products. Individuals need various products as well as a host of services for living a comfortable life. They include commodities like food grains, metal, fuel, __3__ like electricity and transportation, and services like health care, entertainment, and labor. Inflation aims to measure the overall impact of price changes for sets of products and services. It allows for a single value representation of the increase in the price level of goods and services over a period of time. Prices rise, __4__ means that one unit of money buys fewer goods and services. This loss of purchasing power impacts the cost of living for the common public, ultimately leading to a decline in economic growth. Despite some issues, the __5__ among scholars is that sustained inflation occurs when a nation’s money supply growth outpaces economic growth.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文中如何描述 $inflation$（物價上升）與其後的 $deflation$（物價下降），這兩者在語意上呈現完全相反的趨勢。當作者試圖將一個概念與另一個性質截然不同的概念並列，藉此釐清兩者的定義差異時，在語法上應選擇哪一個具有「對比」或「對照」含義的動詞，並能與介係詞 $with$ 形成慣用搭配？

- 觀念驗證： 這題是考上下文的秘密和詞語的好朋友喔！文章說了Inflation（物價咻～地漲高高），然後又說Deflation（物價咻～地跌低低）。你看，漲高高跟跌低低是不是完全不一樣？這個小女孩的讀心術看到了，它們一定是要「對比」的啦！
