題目是：

Which of the following is an example of macro-skills of listening comprehension?
（下列何者是聽力理解的「宏觀技能」範例？）

選項：
(A) Identifying the distinctive sounds of English.
(B) Recognizing the stress patterns of words.
(C) Distinguishing between literal and implied meanings.
(D) Detecting grammatical errors in a speech.

正確答案是：(C) Distinguishing between literal and implied meanings

這屬於理解層次的聽力技能，是宏觀（macro）層次的語言理解。

解析：

語言技能中，「micro-skills（微觀技能）」通常指的是如：
   •   聽辨音素、音節（如選項 A）
   •   辨識語音重音、語調（如選項 B）
   •   辨識語法結構（如選項 D）

而「macro-skills（宏觀技能）」則著重於語意的理解、推論與詮釋，例如：
   •   聽懂語意
   •   理解說話者的態度或目的
   •   推論隱含意涵 → 這就是選項 C
