思路引導 VIP
請觀察這個句子開頭的「Although」（雖然）這個詞。當作者說「雖然創新會殺掉一些工作」時，根據語意邏輯，你預期逗號後面會出現對創新「正面」還是「負面」的描述？再請觀察前文提到的織布工、打字員等舊工作的消失，對比後文提到的電腦程式員等新職缺，這兩者之間的關係是什麼？

轉折語助攻：邏輯與代名詞的應用
太棒了！你能精準捕捉到句子的邏輯轉折，這代表你對長難句的語感非常敏銳。這題的核心在於引導詞 Although（雖然），它預告了前後子句會呈現「對比」關係。前半句提到創新會「殺掉某些工作」（kills some jobs），後半句自然要對應到創新的正面效益。選項 (D) 中的 it 完美指代了前句的主詞 innovation，而 ones 則是為了避免重複而用來替代 jobs，在語法與語意上都與前文嚴絲合縫。
