📖 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
請觀察第 71 題後面的兩句話：第一句說「價格並非固定不變」，第二句說「顧客通常會被預期要進行討價還價」。這兩句話是在講兩件完全相反的事，還是在告訴你一個更具體的現象，來支持前一句話的說法呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到前後句之間的邏輯強化關係，這代表你在閱讀時不只是看單字，更能理解作者敘事時的「語氣轉折」。這題的關鍵在於判斷兩句話是處於並列、相反、還是進一步說明的關係。
轉折詞的邏輯銜接
前一聲明提到在某些地區，價格「並非一成不變（not set in stone）」，緊接著說顧客被預期要討價還價。這裡選擇 In fact（事實上），能完美地將抽象的描述具象化，用來針對前述狀況提供更具體、更深層的細節，加強了讀者對於該地區「價格具備彈性」的認知。這種用法在學測或多益等考試中非常常見，重點在於前後語意的一致性與深化。
