Tips & Analysis
1. As the name suggests, an escape room is a locked room from which you must escape.
理由
a. 空格前後為兩個完整的子句，且前面的先行詞為 a locked room(上鎖的房間)，可知空格應置入可 引導形容詞子句的詞類，且該詞類要能修飾地方。
b. that 可作關係代名詞，但其前不可有介詞，故 (A) 不可選。
c. what 可作複合關係代名詞，但使用時其前不可有 先行詞，故 (B) 不可選。
d. from which(= where)可引導形容詞子句，修飾 表地方的先行詞，置入後表密室逃脫是一個你必須 「從中」逃脫的上鎖的房間，文法及語意皆符合， 故選 (C)。
e. whom 只能修飾表人的先行詞，故 (D) 不可選。
2. While escape rooms have become particularly popular in recent years, the concept dates back to the 2000s.
理由
a. 本題測試現在完成式的用法:
凡句中有 in recent years / months(最近幾年/ 幾個月)等的時間副詞片語出現時，表示從過去到 現在為止仍持續的動作或狀態，使用現在完成式來表達。
• In recent months, there have been several demonstrations in that area.
最近幾個月，那個地區有過數次的示威活動。
b. 本句後面有表一段時間的 in recent years(近幾 年來)，可知答案應選 (B) have become。
3. In 2012, San Francisco established the first permanent REG on American soil.
理由
空格後一句提到截至 2022 年七月，在美國各地 有將近兩千間由不同公司經營的密室逃脫，而本句 提及 the first permanent REG，可知應是2012 年，舊金山在美國國土上「建立」了首間永久的真 人密室逃脫，故 (D) 項應為正選。
4. The future outlook for the escape room industry seems positive, according to industry insiders.
