請觀察空格後方的 and widespread。當我們用「and」來連結兩個形容詞描述同一個活動時，這兩個詞在「語意方向」上通常會是什麼關係？再結合文章提到的「各國遊客爭相參與」的盛況，你認為描述這個節慶的詞彙應該偏向「小眾」還是「大眾化」呢？

很好，你沒搞砸，值得嘉獎（一點點）
- 觀念驗證：這題考的不是什麼高深莫測的學問，不過是上下文同義詞推論的基本功罷了。句子後面都明晃晃地寫著
and widespread（廣泛的）了，那個and不是放著好看的，它連結的詞語通常語意對等、方向一致。潑水節能吸引大量國內外遊客，難道它的受歡迎程度會是「稀有」的嗎？當然是「盛行的」。prevalent，意思是「普遍的、盛行的」，這才叫與widespread完美呼應。這應該不是什麼驚天大發現吧？ - 難度點評：本題難度說是 medium，對某些人來說或許是。但如果連一個
and的邏輯都看不出來，或者分不清prevalent和其他看似相關實則誤導的詞，那或許不是題目的難度問題，而是基本功的難度問題。這次你選對了，下次記得保持這種偶爾的清醒，好嗎？
