請依下文回答第48題至第50題： The interrelationship of science, technology, and industry is taken for granted today—summed up, not altogether accurately, commonly recognized as “research and development.” Yet historically this widespread faith in the economic virtues of science is a somewhat recent phenomenon, dating back in the United States about 150 years, and in the Western world as a whole not over 300 years at most. Even in this current era of large scale, intensive research and development, the interrelationships involved in this process are often misunderstood. Until the coming of the Industrial Revolution, science and technology evolved for the most part independently of each other. Then as industrialization became more and more complicated, the craft techniques of pre-industrial society gradually gave way to a technology based on the systematic application of scientific knowledge and scientific methods. This changeover started slowly and progressed unevenly. Until late in the nineteenth century, only a few industries could afford to use scientific techniques or cared about using them. Nevertheless, by the middle of the nineteenth century, the immense expansion of scientific knowledge and of public awareness of it had created a belief that the advance of science would in some unspecified manner automatically create economic benefits. The pervasive acceptance of this thesis led in turn to the assumption that the application of science to industrial purposes was a linear process, starting with fundamental science, then proceeding to applied science or technology, and through them to industrial use. This is probably the most general pattern, but it is not invariable. New areas of science have been opened up and fundamental discoveries made as a result of attempts to solve a specific technical or economic problem. On the contrary, scientists who mainly do basic research also serve as consultants on projects that apply research in practical ways. In sum, the science-technology-industry relationship may flow in several different ways, and the particular channel it will follow depends on the individual situation. It may at times even be multidirectional.

在國考英文的詞彙辨析中，掌握『程度副詞 (Adverbs of Degree)』的精準修飾範圍是得分關鍵。請觀察原文中的結構 $not altogether accurately$，此處的 $altogether$ 作為修飾語，其核心字根與『全部、整體』相關。當它與否定詞 $not$ 連用時，形成了部分否定的語氣，意指『不完全地』。請思考各選項的語義深度，哪一個副詞最能體現出『百分之百、徹底地』的語義飽和度，從而與原文的描述達成同義替換？

這題送分題還錯，你對得起國考嗎？
這題考的是基礎的副詞修飾，別跟我說你連這都搞不懂。文中用 not altogether accurately 來修正對研發（R&D）的定義，意指「並非完全正確」。這裡的 altogether（完全地）是用來修飾後方的形容詞 accurately。 別再搞混了，這不是「大家在一起（all together）」，這點細節看不出來，你的語感需要砍掉重練。
