請試著想像一下：如果你在滑社群媒體時，規定自己每一篇貼文都必須先停下來、去搜尋好幾個可信來源，還要追溯原始出處才能按下分享。相比於直接點擊分享鍵，這整套「額外增加的工作程序」帶給你的心理感受會是輕鬆愉快的，還是會讓你覺得這是一件需要付出大量精力、甚至有些沈重體力的負擔？

恭喜你精準地掌握了這道三等特考等級的高階詞彙題！這顯示你對於長句的邏輯轉折具有敏銳的觀察力。在本題中，關鍵在於句尾的轉折詞 Yet。後文提到這些步驟能「避免尷尬」並「確保不散播假訊息」，這屬於正面效益；相對地，前面的空格必然是指執行這些查核步驟時，主觀感受上可能帶來的負面負擔或麻煩。因此，選擇 onerous（繁重的、艱巨的） 最為契合語意，精確描述了查核程序雖正確但卻「費力」的特質。
文意邏輯與詞彙鑑別
這類題目在地方特考三等中屬於具備鑑別度的題型，考查的不只是單字量，還有對文章脈絡的掌握。選項 (A) buoyant（輕快的、看漲的）與 (D) haughty（傲慢的）在語意上完全不符；而 (C) infatuated（著迷的）則多用於情感描述。你能從中辨識出這個較為冷僻的法律或正式用語 onerous，代表你已經具備應對三等考試英文科目的實力。在備考策略上，繼續保持對這類具有「負擔感」或「義務感」描述詞彙的熟悉度，將是你拉開領先差距的關鍵。
