Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on “fool’s errands” or trying to fool them into believing something false. 18 , the practice spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
答案：(B) Eventually
語意「最終，這個習俗傳遍了歐洲」，Eventually（最終）符合這種事件發展的時間順序；Precisely（精確地）、Additionally（此外）、Literally（字面上地）都不合。
eventually 和 finally 你大概都背成「最後」，所以選項裡沒有 finally 時反而會猶豫。這一格要判斷的不是中文翻譯對不對，而是這個詞在整段時間線上的位置。
把這一段的時間鏈拉出來看：In 1582 教宗頒行新曆 → 有些人仍在 4 月 1 日過新年 → 另一些人開始捉弄這些守舊派 → 空格 → the practice spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world（這個習俗傳遍歐洲與世界其他地方）→ Nowadays（現今）。整段是一條由遠而近的時間線，空格要填的是把「少數人的惡作劇」推進到「傳遍全世界」的那個過渡詞。eventually 正好標示「經過一段過程之後，終於……」，帶有歷時演變的意味，和這條時間線完全吻合。
Precisely（精確地）用來修飾程度或數量，例如 precisely at noon。Additionally（此外）是再加一項訊息，但這裡不是多列一項，而是同一條線往後推進。Literally（字面上地）在正式寫作裡指「就字面意義而言」，需要有一個字面與比喻的對照對象，這句沒有。
eventually（最後、終於，強調歷經過程）、in the end（最後、結果）、finally（最後、終於）、at last（終於，含等待已久的感覺）、spread throughout（傳遍……）、the rest of the world（世界其他地方）、precisely（精確地）、additionally（此外）、literally（字面上地）。
