請留意空格後方出現了 'Similarly' (同樣地) 這個詞。這通常暗示空格處應包含一個與後文『美國醫務總監的警告』性質相似的實例。在這種情況下，你會預期空格處應該出現什麼樣的權威對象或具體行動，才能讓整段話的論點結構看起來最對稱且合理呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到段落間的轉折邏輯，選出 (B) 說明你對文章的結構對稱性與銜接詞運用有著敏銳的觀察力，這在閱讀測驗中是非常關鍵的能力。
組織與實例的平行對應
這題的解題關鍵在於空格後方的銜接詞 "Similarly" (同樣地)。前一句先概括提到「政府與衛生組織」正努力因應孤獨帶來的衝擊，而空格後的句子則舉出「美國醫務總監 (US Surgeon General)」作為具體實例。為了達成邏輯連貫，(B) 選項提到的 世界衛生組織 (WHO) 正好能與後文的美國官員形成「全球性組織 vs. 國家級官員」的平行對照，兩者皆將孤獨視為重大的公共衛生威脅，語意銜接最為自然。
