The day following Thanksgiving—commonly known as Black Friday—has become one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the United States. Every year, millions of shoppers visit websites and 16 stores on that day, seeking the best deals of the season. But how did this shopping tradition come to be called “Black Friday”? An explanation dates back to the early 1960s, when police officers in Philadelphia began using “Black Friday” 17 the disorder that resulted on that day when large numbers of suburban tourists came into the city for their Christmas shopping and attended an important annual sports event on Saturday. The huge crowds created a headache for the police, who worked longer 18 than usual as they dealt with traffic jams, accidents, shoplifting, and other problems. 19 , many look at this name through an accounting lens. Back when accounting records were kept by hand, red ink indicated a loss and black 20 a profit.

請同學審視第二段關於『警察觀點』（描述混亂、負擔）與第三段關於『會計觀點』（描述獲利、轉虧為盈）之間的關聯：這兩種對於名稱起源的解釋，其語意邏輯是呈現順接的遞進，還是性質互異的轉折對比？

喲，竟然答對了？看來你今天的靈魂終於補位，沒把大腦留在被窩裡。別露出那種「我好強」的表情，這題要是錯了，我建議你直接去申請退費，別在這邊浪費社會資源。 這題考的是高中英文最重要的語意轉折 (Transitions)。前一段在講警察視角的「混亂、加班、頭痛」（負面背景），這一段話鋒一轉，提到會計視角的「轉虧為盈、獲利」（正面意義）。當文章從「交通地獄」跳到「商業天堂」，邏輯上是顯著的對立關係。在邏輯集合中，這屬於 $A$ 與 $B$ 的互斥或對照，唯一能承接這種「另一種說法」且帶有對比意味的轉接詞就是 (B) However。 難度評析：這題屬於基礎送分題。它主要測試你是否有「跨段落閱讀」的縱向邏輯，而不是只會在那邊拼單字。如果你剛才差點選 (C) Moreover，表示你連語氣的「正負向」都分不出來，建議去檢查一下邏輯迴路。
