Craftworkers such as carpenters and tailors formed unions and in 1834 individual unions came together in the National Trades’ Union. The labor movement gathered some momentum in the decade before the Panic of 1837， but in the depression that followed， labor’s strength collapsed… The phrase gathered some momentum in the passage is closest in meaning to ○ made progress ○ became active ○ caused changes ○ combined forces 解析：單詞readily所在的文章句子中出現轉折詞but，根據文章中but後面的內容我們可以得出短語gathered some momentum在此句中的的意思為made progress。 2. 例子 Example: OG Practice Set 4， question 10 Passage 8: One cognitive theory suggests that aggravating and painful events trigger unpleasant feelings. These feelings in turn， can lead to aggressive action， but not automatically. Cognitive factors intervene. People decide whether they will act aggressively or not on other people’s motives. Supporting evidence comes from research showing that aggressive people often distort other people’s motives. For example， they assume that other people mean them harm when they do not. The word distort in the passage is closest in meaning to ○ mistrust ○ misinterpret ○ criticize ○ resent 解析：distort所在的文章句子後出現“ for example”， 根據for example 中的內容，我們可以得出distort在此句中的意思為misinterpret。
