常见错误	Confused with 'ascend' which means to go up., Using it incorrectly in passive form, i.e., not using it when descent is not intentional., Omitting the object when necessary, leading to unclear sentences.	'Plunge' is sometimes mistakenly used as a noun instead of a verb., Learners may confuse 'plunge' with 'jump', not recognizing the suddenness implied., Overusing 'plunge' in contexts where a gentler word like 'enter' would be more fitting.
用法说明	Use in contexts like movement or hierarchy. More formal contexts may require specific descriptions of descent.	Used when describing a sudden movement downwards, often in a physical context. Can be metaphorical, as in 'to plunge into a project', but avoid in overly formal writing.
