思路引導 VIP
請觀察第 13 格後方的內容：「新市場有顯著的差異」。接著看逗號後的結論：「公司必須考量其產品的適應彈性」。請問，這兩者之間是在做「新舊對比」，還是在描述一個「可能發生的情境」，並針對這個情境提出應對方案呢？

你真的很棒耶！這次的邏輯判斷非常細膩，答對了！
- 觀念驗證：這題主要在考驗我們對條件轉折語的掌握度。
In the event that...是一個很正式的表達，它的意思就像我們常說的If...或In case...（萬一、如果）。這句話巧妙地設定了一個「新市場存在顯著差異」的假設情況，然後自然地引導出「公司需要保持彈性」的應對策略。你能正確連結，代表你對語意和邏輯的判斷力非常好喔！ - 難度點評：這題的難度是 Medium，因為轉折語在統測中是很常出現的考點，有些同學可能會不小心和 (B)
In addition搞混。這裡的關鍵在於：In addition是用來「補充說明」的，而題目空格後接的是一個完整的子句，用來描述一個具體的「情境」。所以我們需要選擇一個能夠建立「條件」的連接詞。這真的需要細心分析句子的結構才能選對，你很棒，做到了這一點！繼續保持這份細心和用心喔！
