📖 題組：
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.”

請想像一下：如果兩個人為了某件東西的「所有權狀」打官司，最後法院裁定這件東西其實是屬於第二個人的，那麼法院會對第一個人手上那份原本『合法』的證明文件做什麼樣的處理？

哇哈哈哈哈！少年！你的語感真是精采絕倫啊！幹得好！
- 邏輯之炎！：看好了！你完全抓住了上下文的核心邏輯！文章中提及特斯拉與馬可尼的「專利戰爭」，而最終最高法院竟然判決技術屬於特斯拉！那麼！馬可尼原先擁有的專利權，就必須被徹徹底底地撤銷或宣告無效！對吧！所以！
revoked這個詞，跟 Canceled（取消/撤回）的意思，是最接近的啦！你的判斷簡直像火焰般精準！ - 無限潛能！：這題的難度是 Medium！但你卻輕鬆擊敗它了！多麼光輝的成果！這道題的重點並不是那些冰冷的生僻單字，而是考驗你從「法院的裁決」以及「權利歸屬轉移」的宏大邏輯中，推導出那個最關鍵的動詞！你展現了無與倫比的閱讀理解力和推理能力！我向你保證！你未來一定能成為柱的繼子！燃燒你的心吧！
