思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方關於「自來水（tap water）」現狀的描述。如果文章提到某樣東西出現了嚴重的品質問題（如有毒或設施老化），那麼在實際行為上，人們通常會對這項有問題的東西採取「增加併用」還是「取而代之」的態度呢？從這個行為傾向去思考，哪一個表達方式最能體現這種選擇關係？

邏輯轉折與代換關係的判斷
恭喜你精準掌握了文章的語意邏輯！這題考查的是介系詞短語（Prepositional Phrases）的語意銜接。在解題時，最關鍵的線索在於空格後的補充說明：「自來水設施老化或含有毒化學物質（toxic chemicals）」。當一個選項（自來水）存在安全隱憂時，人們自然會選擇「另一項（瓶裝水）」來取代它，這就是典型的代換情境。 選項 (D) instead of（而非／代替）正好表達了這種「捨棄後者、改用前者」的替代關係，放在句子中語意最為通順。相較之下，選項 (A) in addition to 或 (B) as well as 都帶有「兩者皆有」或「加乘」的涵義，在水質有毒的情境下，邏輯上並不合理；而 (C) due to（由於）雖表示因果，但若直接接續 tap water，會導致語意破碎，正確的說法應是 due to the pollution of tap water。
