The Scout is given a block of wood made of pine 13 two notches for wheels, four plastic wheels, and four nails.
答案：(D) with
a block of wood...with two notches（帶有兩個凹槽的木塊）表示童軍拿到的木塊上已鑿有兩個輪子用的凹槽，with 在此表示「具有……特徵」；in／by／for 均不符合此處的伴隨語意。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
學過「with ＋ 受詞 ＋ 受詞補語」表附帶狀態的人，一看到 with 就會想套那個句型，然後開始找受詞補語，找不到反而懷疑自己選錯；也有人因為後面 for wheels 裡已經有一個 for，覺得空格再填 for 太重複而把它排掉。
先問這是哪一種 with。課本教的 with ＋ 受詞 ＋ 受詞補語，受詞後面一定跟著一個說明它處於什麼狀態的補語，而且還原得出「受詞是／處於那個狀態」：with the door open 還原成 the door is open、with tears in her eyes 還原成 tears were in her eyes。拿這個方法驗算本題：with two notches for wheels，for wheels 說的是凹槽的用途（裝輪子用的），不是凹槽當下的狀態，還原不成附帶狀態。再看 with 後面其實是三個並列的名詞（two notches for wheels、four plastic wheels、and four nails），受詞補語只針對一個受詞說話，後兩項後面什麼都沒帶，若說第一項多帶一個補語，並列就不對等了。下一句還給了決定性的證據：The finished car must use all nine pieces——九個零件是一塊木頭加四個輪子加四根釘子，凹槽是木塊上的特徵、不算零件，可見 with 後面那一串就是「拿到哪些東西」的清單。所以這裡是單純的 with ＋ 名詞，意思是「附有、連同」。同一篇的 with 連這一格共出現五次，三種用法：with the help of parents（在……的協助下）、本題的「附有」、以及 with their dads, grandfathers、with each other、with family, friends（和……一起），沒有一處是 with ＋ 受詞 ＋ 受詞補語，可見看到 with 不能反射性地套那個句型。真正考那個句型的題，受詞後面會站著一個過去分詞或介系詞片語明白描述狀態。
in 表「在……裡面」，a block of wood in two notches 會變成木頭在凹槽裡，主客顛倒。by 表方法或經手者（made by hand），木塊不是靠兩個凹槽做出來的。for 表用途，a block of wood for two notches 變成「為了兩個凹槽而準備的木塊」，方向也反了；句中真正需要 for 的是 notches for wheels 那一組，已經寫在那裡了。
with ＋ 名詞（附有、連同）、with the help of（在……的協助下）、with ＋ 受詞 ＋ 受詞補語（表附帶狀態，例如 with the door open）、be made of（用……做的，看得出原料）、be given ＋ 名詞（被給予……）、made by hand（手工製作）
