思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方的敘述：這位女性在被悔婚後，幾十年來都穿著同一件婚紗，並住在破舊的豪宅裡。如果你在現實生活中遇到這樣的人，你會如何形容這種「完全不符合一般社會常態」的行為模式呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文本中的細節暗示，選出 eccentric（古怪的、異乎尋常的）這個選項，顯示你對上下文語境與角色特質的掌握非常敏銳。
從角色行為推導性格特質
這題的解題關鍵在於對哈維森小姐（Miss Havisham）具體行為的描述。文中提到她自從在婚禮上被拋棄後，便一直穿著當年的婚紗，並長年待在逐漸腐朽的宅邸中；這類偏執且脫離常軌的舉止，在文學修辭中正是「古怪」的典型特徵。雖然選項 (D) affluent（富裕的）同樣可以用來形容她，但句中已經使用了「wealthy but...」作為轉折，這代表空格處應填入一個與財富不同面向、甚至帶有負面或反差感的形容詞，因此 (A) 是最完美的選擇。
