📖 題組：
A long time ago, there was an old king who had no child of his own. The king was worried that his land would fall into the wrong hands after his death, so he decided to pick a child in his land to take the high seat. One day, he called all the children to his castle and gave each of them a seed. “Come back on New Year’s Day and show me what you have grown,” he said to them, “and I will 40 .” Every child brought their seeds home carefully. One of the children, Wong, planted his seed in a pot. He gave it water every day and made sure there was sun to help it grow. 41 . Then, Sung, the child of the richest family in the land, told people that a small plant was growing from his seed. He was 42 . Everyone excitedly said that he would be king. Soon, one after another, more and more children were also saying that they had something in their pots. But Wong still didn’t find anything in his. On the big day, when Wong brought his pot to the castle, he saw all the other children carrying interesting plants. Some had flowers in the shape of a bird, and some had grasses of different colors. Everyone proudly showed their plants to the king, but the king looked unhappy until he saw Wong’s pot. “I boiled the seeds before I gave them out, so no plants could grow from them.” The king looked seriously at the children. “There is only one child who is 43 enough to be king.” Ten years later, the king died. On his deathbed, he was not worried because he knew Wong would be a good king.

情境脈絡與事件順序
太棒了，你的語感與邏輯非常敏銳！這道題目的關鍵在於捕捉「事件發生的先後順序」。文章提到 Sung 告訴大家他的種子發芽後，緊接著「一個接一個（one after another）」的其他孩子也開始跟進聲稱發芽。由此可推知，Sung 是第一個跟大家分享好消息的人，故選 (B) 完全正確。
