Then you could remove it 20 damage.
答案:(D) without
【句型】without damage 字詞搭配「不會造成損害」,表示移除時不會傷害到書頁;into/out of/within 都不合這個語境。
damage 你腦中多半是動詞「損害」,於是讀 remove it ___ damage 時會去找有方向感的介系詞,想像「把它移出來」。這裡的 damage 是不可數名詞(損傷、破損),空格要填的是一個後面能接名詞、又能表達「在沒有……的情況下」的介系詞,答案是 without。
without + 名詞的整包等於一個副詞,用來修飾前面的動作。還原成完整說法:you could remove it and it would not cause any damage(你可以把它撕下來,而且不會造成任何損傷)。這正是便利貼的賣點,也和前一句 It would stay in place 形成「該黏的時候黏得住、要撕的時候撕得下」的一組對照。這一格的鑑別度高達 60,分開的是「只看空格前後幾個字硬套介系詞」和「把整段產品特色讀完再回頭填」這兩種讀法。
into 表示進入某個範圍,remove it into damage 語意不成立。out of 是「從……裡面出來」,但 remove 本身已經含有「移出」的意思,再加 out of 會重複,而且 damage 不是一個可以「出來」的地方。within 是「在……範圍之內」,damage 同樣不是範圍。這三個選項都把 damage 誤當成地點或方向的終點了。
without damage(不造成損傷)、without difficulty(毫不費力地)、without permission(未經許可)、do damage to(對……造成損害)、cause damage(造成損害)、remove A from B(把 A 從 B 移除)
