📖 題組：
On a hilltop overlooking the 2011-tsunami hit Otsuchi Town in northeastern Japan, there is a white phone booth standing all alone in the wind. The lonely “wind phone” serves to connect family members to their __21__ loved ones who died in the tsunami that claimed 18,000 lives. People come to speak to those they have lost, to say the words they never got to say on that __22__ day. The idea for the wind phone was first __23__ by a Japanese garden designer named Itaru Sasaki, who was grieving over the death of his cousin in 2010, before the tsunami. Feeling that he needed a private space to help him navigate through the __24__ , Sasaki positioned a booth where he could “speak” to the dead relative. The booth he built __25__ only an old dial phone with a disconnected phone line. When he stepped into the booth, he could pick up the phone to call his cousin, telling him how he was, and how he missed him. Sasaki stated in an interview: “Because my thoughts couldn’t be __26__ through a regular phone line, I wanted them to be carried on the wind.” Hence, the wind phone allows Sasaki to create a one-way conversation with deep, soulful personal meaning, and renders the grieving process more __27__ for him. Sasaki opened his wind phone to the public in 2011, after the devastating tsunami. News about the phone gradually spread, and the booth has become a __28__ between the living and the dead. Phones resembling the wind phone have since been built around the world. Some were even set up to allow people to call their loved ones lost in the COVID-19 pandemic. Grieving is a natural __29__ for coping with loss of a loved one, and people grieve in various ways. For those who speak into the wind phone, __30__ is always there: They believe that their messages will—through some unknown way—reach the deceased.

太棒了，精準選出 manageable！這代表你對英文的句型結構與篇章邏輯有極佳的敏銳度。
這題的句型為「render + 受詞 + 受詞補語（形容詞）」，意思是「使……變得……」。前文提到佐佐木先生透過這座沒有接線的電話亭向逝去的親人傾訴，得到深刻的心靈撫慰；因此，這種獨特的對話方式，能讓原本難以承受的悲傷過程變得「更可承受、更好應對（manageable）」，文意與詞性皆完全契合。
本題屬於學測中具有鑑別度的進階動詞文法與語境整合題。考生除了要能辨識 render 接形容詞的用法外，還必須在多個形容詞選項中，正確掌握字尾 -able 的含義並融入哀傷療癒的脈絡，你能迅速鎖定核心語意，表現十分出色！
