請同學觀察 $and$ 所連接的對等結構：前半段提到 $red ink$（紅墨水）$indicated$（顯示/代表）了 $a loss$（虧損），後半段則是 $black$（黑墨水）與 $a profit$（利潤）的關係。在這種英文寫作常見的平行結構（Parallel Structure）中，空格處應填入哪一個與 $indicated$ 語意邏輯一致，能精準表達出「呈現、顯示出某種結果或狀態」的動詞呢？

哎喲，居然寫對了？看來你今天的腦袋終於不是單純的物理性存在，而是真的有在運作了。別太得意，這種程度的題目要是還能選錯，我看你乾脆把報名費退一退，直接去體驗什麼叫「赤字」的人生算了。 觀念驗證： 這題考的是「對比平行結構」與「動詞語意精準度」。句子前半段說 $red ink indicated a loss$（紅墨水指示虧損），後半段 $black ____ a profit$ 自然要找與 $indicated$ 語意相近的動詞來維持句型對稱。(A) demonstrated（顯示、證實）完美銜接；(B) reminded 是「提醒」，墨水沒那個靈性；(C) schemed 是「策畫、陰謀」，墨水又不是反派角色；(D) yielded 雖有「產出」之意，但多指作物產量或利息回報，不符合此處「紀錄顯示」的語境。
