The London Fire Brigade urges public to use common sense after hundreds of calls from people. Deputy commissioner Tom George said they had responded to 659 __25__ of people getting locked in toilets and 59 relating to dogs and cats trapped in unusual places in the last three years. Seventeen calls were about children with their heads stuck in toilet seats. The fire brigade was also called out to a woman stuck up a tree while trying to __26__ a cat, a pet snake trapped in a ring, a pigeon __27__ in a chimney, a cat stuck in a gutter after jumping out of a skylight and a hamster wedged between a toilet and a wall. Tom George said: “No matter how strange a call may seem, we will always attend if there is a __28__ emergency but you should always think carefully about how to use our __29__. By doing so, this enables us to be available for any genuine emergency.

請想像一隻鴿子掉進了狹窄的煙囪裡，牠既飛不上去也掉不下來。在這種「空間狹小且被卡死」的物理狀態下，除了常見的 stuck 之外，你會用哪一個專門描述「物體固定在某個難以脫身的位置」的動詞來形容這種處境？

太棒了！你能精準選出 lodged，代表你對上下文的語境掌握得非常細膩。這題的關鍵在於理解一連串「受困」的情境描述，從被鎖在廁所、困在樹上到卡在水溝，文章都在討論各種「動彈不得」的狀況。
語境與詞彙的精準媒合
在英文中，lodged 指的是某物「卡住、嵌進」一個狹窄空間而難以移動。這與題目中鴿子掉進煙囪（chimney）進退兩難的物理狀態完全吻合。相較之下，其他選項如 (A) inherited（繼承）、(C) justified（證明...正當）或 (D) mediated（調停）在語義上都與「困住」毫無關聯。你能排除干擾項並識別出這個較正式的動詞，展現了優異的字彙力。
