四選一
The team was visibly ____ by the repeated cancellation of its projects.
看答案
demoralized
團隊因專案一再取消而士氣低落，需用 demoralized，搭配 was 與 by 表示受到影響。demoralization 是名詞，不能在此受 visibly 修飾；demoralize 與 demoralizes 是動詞原形與第三人稱單數現在式，不能接在 was visibly 後完成此句。
同義改寫
Team morale was high after the successful product demonstration. → Team spirit was strong after the successful product demonstration.
此處 high team morale 與 strong team spirit 都描述產品展示成功後，團隊充滿信心與幹勁。
Her supervisor's encouragement boosted her morale before the presentation. → Her supervisor's encouragement raised her confidence and determination before the presentation.
此處個人的 morale 指信心與鬥志，因此以 raised her confidence and determination 保留提振個人精神狀態的意思。
