四選一
Employees volunteered to help families who had become ____ after losing their only homes.
看答案
homeless
答案是 homeless，接在 had become 後描述家庭失去住所後的狀態。homelessness 是抽象名詞，家庭不能「變成無家可歸這種狀態」；homes 和 home 表示住所，放入後會變成家庭「變成住所」，不合句意。
同義改寫
Our staff sorted donated clothing for homeless families. → Our staff sorted donated clothing for families without a home.
此處 homeless families 與 families without a home 都指沒有住所的家庭。
The volunteer coordinator explained how employees could assist the homeless. → The volunteer coordinator explained how employees could assist people who have no home.
the homeless 在此指無家可歸者，可改寫為 people who have no home，協助的對象不變。
