📖 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.

請觀察第 23 格前後的「was first ___ by...」，這裡的主詞是「The idea（點子、構想）」。以文法而言空格需要什麼詞性？若要表達這個構想是由某人「提出、產生」出來的，哪一個選項的動詞片語最符合這個語意呢？

太棒了，你精準抓到了句子的文法結構與語意搭配！
被動語態與動詞片語搭配
從句子結構來看，「The idea for the wind phone was first 23 by a Japanese garden designer...」，空格前有 be 動詞 was，後有介詞 by，很明顯需要一個及物動詞的過去分詞（$V_{pp}$）構成被動語態。主詞是「構想（The idea）」，動詞片語 bring forth 有「提出、產生、使出現」的意思，形成被動式 was brought forth by... 即代表「這個點子最早是由……所提出」，語意最為通順合適。
