Folake's tasteful and colorful creations have earned her global 14, making her the first African fashion designer to showcase her talent at the New York Mercedes Fashion Week for two consecutive years.
答案：(A) recognition
earned her global recognition（為她贏得全球認可）表示她品味出眾、色彩豐富的作品讓她獲得全球肯定；motivation／supervision／preparation 均不符合此處語意。
recognition 這個字，你的印象大概只有「認出、辨識」（face recognition 人臉辨識），一想到辨識就覺得它跟服裝設計沒關係。四個選項 recognition、motivation、supervision、preparation 都是 -tion 結尾的抽象名詞，形態上一個也刷不掉。
兩個地方一起看就定案了。第一是動詞 earn：earn sb sth 是「為某人贏得某物」，贏得的必須是名聲、地位、好處這一類別人給的東西。第二是句尾的 making her the first African fashion designer to showcase her talent at the New York Mercedes Fashion Week，句尾的現在分詞片語在補充說明前面整句話所造成的結果（劍橋 English Grammar Today 的 -ing clause 表 result），還原成 and it made her the first…。既然結果是成為首位在紐約時裝週展現才華的非洲設計師，那空格要的就是「被看見、被肯定」，也就是 global recognition（全球的肯定）。recognition 除了「辨識」，更常用的意思正是公開的認可。鑑別度 63 是本批最高的幾題之一，分的是有沒有把句尾的 making 片語當成結果來讀，再回頭問什麼樣的東西會造成這個結果。
motivation（動機、幹勁）是自己內在的東西，不是別人賺給你的，earn her global motivation 語意矛盾。supervision（監督）與後面「成為首位登上時裝週的設計師」這個結果接不起來，earn 也不用來賺得監督。preparation（準備）是過程不是成果，earn 後面要的是成果。
earn sb sth（為某人贏得…）、global recognition（全球的肯定、國際知名度）、in recognition of（為表彰…）、tasteful（有品味的）、showcase one's talent（展現才華）、for two consecutive years（連續兩年）
