📖 題組：
All education systems may ultimately be judged in terms of equality of opportunity. This is often referred to in the debates over selective versus comprehensive schooling. The main issue is whether everyone has the same opportunities for educational achievement or whether (36) of one sort or another is (37) the system. League tables for schools and colleges may actually help unintentionally to (38) inequalities, while claiming to promote the raising of standards. Inevitably, league tables divide educational institutions into good and bad, successful and failing, resulting in a two-tier system, or at least that is how the public (39) it. The ability of better-off parents and well-endowed schools to push children towards the institutions at the top of the league may, in the long term, have the effect of depressing opportunity for the less well-off or for children from home environments that do not provide the push and motivation to excel. Financial support of different kinds can help to make educational opportunity more equal. There are, for example, scholarships or bursaries that make it possible for less (40) youngsters to afford tertiary education. Student loans allow undergraduates to pay for their tuition fees and living expenses while they are studying. But few would claim that real equality of opportunity has been achieved.

思路引導 VIP
請試著思考：當我們在討論一個複雜的系統（如教育制度）時，如果某個問題並非外來的干擾，而是從這個系統「建立的那一刻起」就存在於它的基因或結構之中，我們會用什麼樣的詞彙來形容這種「內在的、固有的」特性呢？

非常好，恭喜你精準地捕捉到了文章的邏輯轉折！這道題目要求我們描述「不平等」與「教育制度」之間的關係。文意在探討機會均等是否真能實現，還是不平等其實早已「內在於」系統之中。你選擇的 inherent in 正確傳達了這種「與生俱來、固有」的概念，完美對接了學術討論中對於制度性問題的描述。
核心語意與慣用法辨析
從詞彙精準度來看，這題具有相當的鑑別度。inherent 這個詞常用來形容某種特質根植於事物的本質內，且語法上習慣與介係詞 in 連用。相較於其他選項，例如 (A) inextricable 通常與 from 連用，意為「無法擺脫的」；或是 (C) irrevocable 意為「不可撤回的」，在語意上都無法像 inherent in 這樣貼切地描述「不平等潛藏在制度結構中」的層次。你能從上下文的對比關係中挑選出最合適的動賓結構，展現了非常紮實的學術字彙與慣用語能力！
