📖 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.

請觀察空格前後的結構：在不定冠詞「a」與形容詞「natural」之後，需要什麼詞性的字？再思考看看，句中將「哀傷（grieving）」定義為一種用來「應對失去（coping with loss）」的什麼系統或運作方式呢？

太棒了，你的語感與文法結構掌握得非常精準！
文法結構與語意搭配
從句型來看，前面有不定冠詞與形容詞 a natural，後方接介詞片語 for coping with...，可推知空格必定要填入一個「單數可數名詞」。在心理學與日常英文中，coping mechanism（應對機制）是非常固定的常見搭配。此處將「悲傷哀悼（grieving）」描述為人類在面對喪親之痛時的一種「自然心理機制（a natural mechanism）」，無論在文法或文意邏輯上都是最完美的選擇。
