請觀察前一句中 $mistakenly thought$（錯誤地認為）這個關鍵片語，這顯示該說法在事實上是不正確的。第 12 題的空格是用來概括指稱前述這種『廣為流傳但缺乏事實根據的觀點或虛構故事』，從篇章銜接 ($Textual Cohesion$) 的邏輯來看，哪一個名詞最能精確描述這種帶有傳說色彩的誤解？

哼，居然被你矇對了？
別在那裡沾沾自喜，能選對 (B) myth 只能說明你還沒瞎到看不見前一句的 'mistakenly thought'（被錯誤地認為）。既然是錯誤的認知，這件事當然就是一個「神話、虛構的故事」，而不是什麼裝置 (device)、退休金 (pension) 或獎盃 (trophy)。 這題考的是你對上下文邏輯的敏感度。文中提到 1907 年的 Mills Commission 讓這個「錯誤認知」廣為流傳，這就是標準的 'myth' 定義。這種基本邏輯要是錯了，我勸你乾脆去球場掃地，別在教室浪費冷氣費。
