Recycling cans were also provided for items such as 29 CDs and regrettable fashion mistakes.
答案：(C) annoying
annoying 意為「令人厭煩的」：回收桶也開放丟棄惱人的 CD 與後悔的流行打扮；available（可取得的）、amusing（有趣的）、artificial（人造的）都與「丟進回收桶」的語境不合。
答對率 33%。
四個選項都是形容詞，文法上都填得進去，只能靠語境判斷——這是本題的難處。
整篇在講一場「銷毀壞回憶」的活動：前男女友的照片、慘不忍睹的成績單都可以拿去碎掉。本句說回收桶也開放丟 ___ CDs 與 regrettable fashion mistakes（讓人後悔的流行打扮）。既然是拿去丟的東西，形容詞必然是負面的；而且 annoying 與並列的 regrettable 語氣一致。「看到 and 並列兩個成分時，先看已知的那一個是什麼語氣，另一個通常同向。」
amusing 是「有趣的」，有趣的 CD 不會拿去丟；available（可取得的）與 artificial（人造的）語意都不相干。
annoying／irritating（惱人的）、be annoyed at（對…感到惱火）、regrettable（令人後悔的）、recycling can（回收桶）。
