📖 題組：
It is still a problem for many people in the world to have safe water to drink. Some people hold that bottled water is a more convenient product than tap water when you need a quick drink; [41], few may wonder where the former is made and why it costs so much. In fact, tap water isn’t a universal luxury. It’s [42] that more than 800 million people around the world don’t have safe drinking water, and even in the US, cities had to use bottled water [43] tap water. The tap water had aging facilities or toxic chemicals in the water supply. On the other hand, bottled water has a huge environmental impact. It usually [44] a lake, spring, or underground aquifer, and on average, [45] need 3 liters of water to make one liter of bottled water.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後的句子提到自來水含有「有毒化學物質（toxic chemicals）」。在這種水質不安全的情況下，人們對於「瓶裝水」與「自來水」的選擇關係，會傾向於「兩者都要（累加）」還是「捨棄其一（取代）」呢？

做得好！這題考驗的是對前後文邏輯轉折的精準掌握。正確答案是 (D) instead of（而非／取代）。文中提到美國部分城市被迫使用瓶裝水，緊接著解釋原因在於當地的自來水（tap water）管線老舊且含有毒性物質（toxic chemicals）。在這種供水系統受污染的負面情境下，瓶裝水與自來水的關係顯然不是並存的加法，而是**「取而代之」的替換關係**。
邏輯連接詞的語意判讀
這類考題在法學知識與英文中屬於「脈絡辨識」的典型題型。選項 (A) in addition to 與 (B) as well as 都帶有「除了……還有……」或「以及」的累加語意，這與後文提到的自來水有毒、無法飲用的語境不符；而 (C) due to（由於）雖是因果關係，但在此處接續名詞後語法邏輯不順。因此，透過理解後文的「負面條件」，即可鎖定代表替代語氣的 (D) 為最佳解答。
