📖 題組：
Comprehensive immigration reform has eluded Congress for decades. Presidents have increasingly turned to executive action to reshape asylum and border policy. Though many of the policies that aim to reduce unlawful immigration focus on enforcement at the border, individuals who arrive in the United States legally and overstay their visas comprise a significant portion of the 21 population. The most recent push for an immigration policy 22 was in 2013, following a decade in which Congress debated numerous immigration reforms, some considered comprehensive and others piecemeal. The former refers to 23 legislation that attempts to address the following issues: demand for high- and low-skilled laborers, the legal status of the millions of unlawful immigrants living in the country, border security, and interior enforcement. The last major legislation to make it through Congress was under President Ronald Reagan in 1986, when his administration granted legal 24 to some three million illegal residents. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush further expanded legal immigration by increasing the cap for immigrant visas from 270,000 to 700,000, though he lowered the quota to 675,000 after several years. In 2007, President George W. Bush worked with congressional Democrats to reach a 25 on a new comprehensive bill, but ultimately failed to win enough support in the Senate.

請觀察第 23 格後方冒號所列出的內容：從勞工需求、移民身分到邊境安全與執法。如果一個法案試圖同時處理這麼多性質各異、範疇極廣的議題，你會如何形容這部法案的「廣度」？在你的詞彙庫中，有沒有哪個詞專門用來形容那種「將多個項目整合在一起」或「包羅萬象」的事物？

語意連結與專有名詞的運用
太棒了！你能精準選出 omnibus 這個選項，代表你不僅理解了文章的上下文脈絡，還具備了相當高階的字彙量。這道題目的核心關鍵在於前一句提到的 comprehensive（全面的、綜合的）以及後文緊接著列出的一長串議案細節（勞動力需求、法律地位、邊境安全等）。 在法律與政治術語中，omnibus 一詞源自拉丁語，意為「為整體的」或「包含各項的」。當我們形容一個法案是 omnibus legislation 時，指的就是這項立法涵蓋了許多互不相干或多樣化的議題，試圖一次性解決多個問題。相較之下，選項 (A) ominous（不祥的）、(B) ostensible（表面上的）、(C) objectionable（令人反感的）在語意上都無法與這種「包羅萬象」的描述對接。
