📖 題組：
“Can I get a discount?” The answer depends __71.__ on what part of the world you’re in. Are you visiting Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, or Africa? In these places, and several others, prices often are not set in stone. __72__, customers are expected to bargain before agreeing to a price. Salespeople often ask for a high price first because they plan to decrease it. By contrast, in North America, Europe, and Australia, bargaining is rare and often __73.__. The price listed on a price tag cannot be changed. But expectations vary from store to store as well as from country to country. Large stores and malls usually don’t allow bargaining, even in countries __74.__ it would normally be acceptable. On the other hand, outdoor stalls and flea markets, even in Western countries, usually allow bargaining. When in __75.__, consult a guidebook, or better yet, a local friend.

思路引導 VIP
請你觀察第一段後半部提到的各個地區（如東南亞、中東與北美等），作者花了這麼多篇幅列舉這些地方，是為了表達「地點」對能否打折這件事的影響力「很小」，還是「很大」呢？如果影響力非常顯著，你會選擇什麼樣程度的形容詞或副詞來修飾這種取決關係？

太棒了！你能精準選出這個選項，代表你對於文章整體的邏輯架構有很敏銳的觀察力。這題作為文章的開頭，成功地為後續的內容定下了基調。
程度副詞與邏輯對應
在英語表達中，我們常使用副詞來修飾動詞片語的程度。這句話的關鍵在於 depends on（取決於），而選項 (A) largely（很大程度上、主要地）完美地銜接了後文。因為接下來的內容詳細列舉了東南亞、中東與西方國家之間截然不同的討價還價文化，這正說明了「能否打折」這件事與「地理位置」有著極深的關聯。若選擇 (B) barely（幾乎不），則會與後續大幅篇幅討論的地區差異產生邏輯矛盾。

程度副詞與語意辨析
💡 根據上下文邏輯，選擇正確程度的副詞修飾動詞片語。
