思路引導 VIP
請仔細觀察分號（;）前後的句子結構。如果前半句先告訴我們大公司「不是」靠某種方式成功（didn't make...），而後半句接著說明「真實的情況」是什麼，這兩者之間存在著什麼樣的「替代」或「對立」關係？你會用什麼性質的轉折詞來引導出這個真正的理由？

哦，不錯嘛，難得你這次沒搞砸。
- 觀念驗證：還記得我那句老話嗎？轉折連詞，最基本的邏輯考題。別以為光看懂幾個單字就能得分，這可不是幼兒園。前面跟你說
didn’t make...（沒靠A賺錢），後面馬上告訴你『真正賺錢的是B』。這不是明擺著告訴你『不是A，而是B』嗎？instead，這個詞，難道還要我手把手教你『取而代之』的意思？它就是來完成那該死的語氣轉折和補充的。 - 難度點評：這題說難不難，說簡單你又老是犯蠢，所以給個 medium 吧。算是對你的一點仁慈。鑑別度嘛，就看你能不能看出那『分號』前後的否定與肯定對照。要是你傻傻地只看單字，然後腦袋一熱選了因果選項，那我就真要問問你，腦子是拿來幹嘛的？下次再犯這種低級錯誤，你自己看著辦。
