📖 題組：
請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 A mantra is a word, sound, or phrase repeated to focus the mind or express a strong belief. Derived from the ancient Sanskrit language, “man” means “mind” and “tra” means “instrument.” There are three main types of mantras, each of which has different qualities and purposes. Bija mantras are short one-syllable words that contain a great deal of vibrational energy. They are often chanted alone, but can be found in longer mantras. Each mantra is associated with goddesses, the five elements of nature, or the seven chakra energy centers. Saguna mantras focus on the name of a particular god or goddess and involve the visualization of the deity. Thus, the chanting is more than repeating words but calling upon qualities that the deity represents. The whole process is personalized, allowing the chanter to connect directly with the deity. Nirguna mantras are older than the other two types. They do not chant any particular deity, which makes it much more abstract and difficult to interpret. These mantras relate to the universal truths and concepts like consciousness and peace. Transcending the physical world, they are not recommended for beginners. Chanting mantras has been practiced for centuries. Nowadays, even scientific studies recognize benefits of mantra chanting. If you are looking for the balance between the mind, body, and spirit, you can give chanting mantras a try!

關鍵字根的語意拆解
為什麼選項 (A) 是正確答案呢？關鍵在於文章第二句提供的字源解釋：文中提到「mantra」源自梵語（Sanskrit），其中「man」代表「心智（mind）」，而「tra」則是「工具（instrument）」。再結合文末提到誦咒能幫助尋找心靈、身體與靈魂（文中用 spirit，選項轉用 soul）之間的平衡。因此，將其定義為一種連接心智與整體的「工具」，完全符合文意脈絡。
