【B】 The pandemic has underlined the extent 21 digital interaction is no substitute for the real thing. In some ways, I’m more in touch with people than ever thanks to the numerous WhatsApp groups that revived themselves into a constant source of company. But 22 away in a couple of group chats while absent-mindedly watching the latest Netflix offering doesn’t come close to the wonderful feeling of hugging a friend, or of spending three hours giving someone you haven’t seen for ages your undivided attention over a meal, or of having a conversation based not just on words but physical cues. I doubt the pandemic will seed a long-term distaste for crowds; if anything, I suspect that, if all goes well with the vaccine 23 , the coming summer will see a crop of riotous street parties and carnivals. But a return to life as usual will not mask the emotional toll Covid 24 on so many people. People who suffer from anxiety and depression, women in abusive relationships, children experiencing abuse or neglect at the hands of their parents: they have had it the worst, and their experiences of isolation and loneliness during lockdown could have consequences for their personal relationships that will not magically disappear with a vaccine. And that is before you factor in the added 25 of the intense financial hardship so many are being forced to endure. As a society, recovering from Covid is about much more than antibodies: it cannot happen without support for those who have experienced its worst financial and mental health impacts.

慣用語與關係子句的結合
在英文中，當我們表達「到什麼樣的程度」時，標準用法是 to an extent。當這個結構轉化為關係子句來修飾先行詞 extent 時，原本與其搭配的介係詞 to 就必須搬移到關係代名詞 which 之前。因此，整句 the extent to which... 完整表達了「這場疫情凸顯了數位互動無法取代實體接觸到『何種程度』」。
