In addition, advertisements for liquor, on TV and in print, show situations that are 29 to the young.
答案：(C) attractive
語意是「對年輕人有吸引力的情境」，attractive（有吸引力的）符合；attentive（專心的）、attributive（歸屬的）、accustomed（習慣的）都與「情境對年輕人有吸引力」的語意不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都是 att-／acc- 開頭的形近字，長得極像，而且其中三個後面都接得了 to，所以連「看介系詞」這一招都不管用，只能靠語意。
四個選項都是形容詞，可見這一格考的是語意。先看整句：advertisements for liquor ... show situations that are ___ to the young.（酒類廣告呈現的是對年輕人……的情境。）廣告的目的是讓人想買，所以那些情境當然是要對年輕人「有吸引力」，填 attractive。下一句更直接：People hoist their glasses while they are sitting around ski lodges, sailing, dancing, or enjoying a football game.（畫面裡的人在滑雪小屋、帆船上、舞池裡、看球賽時舉杯。）——滑雪、帆船、跳舞、看球賽，全是年輕人嚮往的場面，這就是「吸引力」的具體內容。順便把這一組形近字分清楚：attractive（有吸引力的，be attractive to）、attentive（專注的、周到的，be attentive to）、accustomed（習慣的，be accustomed to）、attributive（用來修飾名詞的，文法術語）。要注意前三個都接 to，所以介系詞幫不上忙，一定要靠語意分——這與 85 年第 39 題的 sen- 家族是同一型的題目，但那一題可以靠 to 定案，本題不行。
attentive（專注的）：be attentive to 是「對……很留意、很周到」，變成「情境對年輕人很體貼」，語意不通。accustomed（習慣的）：be accustomed to 是「習慣於」，主詞應該是人（young people are accustomed to ...），而這裡的主詞是 situations。attributive（限定用法的）：是文法術語，與廣告情境無關。
be attractive to（對……有吸引力）、be attentive to（對……很留意）、be accustomed to（習慣於）、an advertisement for（……的廣告）、in print（印刷品上的）、the young（年輕人）。
America encourages its young people to drink. 21 , our society makes drinking a part of every celebration. Our personal celebrations, 22 weddings, promotions, graduations, and anniversaries, are 23 linked with drinking. 24 children can attend any family affair without seeing the adults enjoying their liquor.

Secondly, the shows young people watch on television encourage them to drink. On 26 every soap opera, the characters drink casually and often. The rock videos young people watch over and over again feature alcohol, too. 27 on the videos sit in bars, nightclubs, and roadhouses. Drinking, the message goes, is cool.
