請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American who emigrated to New York City in 1884, was a scientist and visionary who developed the basis for alternating current (AC) that most of us use today and pioneered numerous technologies that improve our everyday lives. Without his contribution to the AC electric power, we would be fifty years behind technologically than where we are today. In 1884, Tesla left Europe and worked for Thomas Edison, the developer of direct current (DC). It was said that Edison promised Tesla $50,000 to fix the problems with his DC system. When Tesla succeeded and demanded his reward, Edison claimed the offer was a joke, saying “When you become a full-fledged American, you will appreciate an American joke.” This prompted Tesla to quit and he ended up in a battle with Edison. Today, Tesla’s AC system is predominantly used to power most of the world’s electricity. DC motors are still used for some industrial machines, but often require more maintenance. It is not just AC power that Tesla worked on. Motors, radios, X-rays, neon signs were advanced by his extraordinary mind. History often touts Italian entrepreneur Guglielmo Marconi as the inventor of radio, but actually he was using technology from seventeen of Tesla’s patents. The two inventors became embroiled in a patent war. In 1943, the United States Supreme Court revoked Marconi’s radio patents in favor of Tesla. Unfortunately, Tesla and Marconi had already passed away by the time the court handed down their decision. Tesla also invented one of the world’s earliest remote control and was a pioneer of X-ray technology. He took some of the first X-ray images of the human body and was one of the first scientists to hypothesize that X-rays could be harmful. The brilliant inventor contributed to reusable energy as well. Nine out of the twelve patents used to build the world’s first hydroelectric station, erected at Niagara Falls, New York, belonged to Tesla. He helped pave the way toward clean energy because he understood the physics behind energy and what might be possible in the future. Often referred to as “the man who invented the 20th century,” Tesla was involved in many more discoveries and creations. When he died in 1943, there was so much interest in what he was working on that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided his hotel room within hours of his death. Experts say Tesla envisioned his inventions improving people’s lives. Indeed, his innovative ideas were milestones of technology. The great pioneer believed “Invention is the most important product of men’s creative brain.”

Which of the following is NOT true about Tesla？
- A He put forward ideas to make X-rays safer.
- B He created one of the first remote controls.
- C His AC system is more widely used than Edison's DC system.
- D His patents were applied in the design of the first hydroelectric station.

請你再次閱讀文中提到 X-ray 的那一兩句話，仔細思考：文中只說特斯拉發現了 X 光的某種『負面特質』，這是否等同於他已經想出了『讓它變安全的方法』了呢？

太棒了！你的觀察非常細微且精準
- 觀念驗證： 這題考查的是資訊精確度辨析。文中第四段提到特斯拉「假設 X 光可能是有害的 (hypothesize that X-rays could be harmful)」，這僅代表他察覺了其危險性。然而，選項 (A) 提到他提出「使之更安全 (make X-rays safer)」的想法，這在文中並未提及，屬於過度推論的陷阱。其餘選項 (B)、(C)、(D) 均能在文中找到直接對應的細節。
