答案：(D) offering
現在分詞 offering 作形容詞修飾 departments，表示「提供你感興趣課程的系所」；offer（原形動詞，不能這樣修飾名詞）、offers（限定動詞，句子已有主要動詞has）、offered（過去分詞，被動語意方向不合，應該是系所主動「提供」課程）都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項是 offer 的四種形態，你會開始判斷時態；但這個句子已經有動詞 has 了，空格填的不是句子的動詞，是用來修飾前面那個名詞的。
先看結構：find out which college has departments ___ courses that interest you（找出哪一所大學有……你感興趣的課程的系所）。子句的主詞是 which college、動詞是 has、受詞是 departments，成分已經齊了，所以空格不可能再是一個限定動詞——offer 與 offers 先出局。剩下 offered 與 offering，用主動被動分：系所是提供課程的一方，是主動，所以用現在分詞 offering。整串 offering courses that interest you 掛在 departments 後面，走的是那條位置規則：分詞當形容詞用時，單獨一個放名詞前，帶了受詞就整串放名詞後。這一條在題庫裡已經出現三次，剛好可以一起看：88 年第 38 題的 a window overlooking the bay（現在分詞，窗戶主動朝向海灣）、84 年第 36 題的 items made from myrtlewood（過去分詞，商品被製成）、本題的 departments offering courses（現在分詞，系所主動提供課程）。判準永遠是同一個：那個名詞是做這個動作的，還是被這個動作處理的。
offered：過去分詞表被動，變成「被提供課程的系所」，方向反了。offer、offers：限定動詞。句子已經有 has，再放一個限定動詞而中間沒有連接詞，會變成兩個句子黏在一起。
departments offering courses（提供課程的系所）、a window overlooking（俯瞰……的窗）、items made from（用……做成的物品）、courses that interest sb（某人感興趣的課程）、prepare for one’s career（為職涯做準備）、a department（系所）。
