思路引導 VIP
若某樣東西被證實有毒或損壞了，而你為了生存必須尋找另一個替代品，你會如何形容這兩者之間的「取代」關係？當句子後方緊接著解釋原有的選項（自來水）出了問題時，空格處應填入什麼樣功能的片語，才能表達出「放棄前者、選用後者」的意思？

恭喜你精確地掌握了語意邏輯！這題考查的是對比與替代關係。在閱讀測驗或克漏字中，連結詞的選用必須建立在前後文的因果邏輯上。從後文提到「自來水設施老化（aging facilities）」與「含有毒化學物質（toxic chemicals）」來看，這顯然是自來水無法飲用的負面原因。因此，在這種情境下，人們不會同時使用兩者，而是會選擇以瓶裝水**「代替」**不安全的自來水，使用 instead of（而非/代替）最為貼切。
語意辨析與陷阱排除
這道題目的鑑別度在於區分 (C) due to 與 (D) instead of。有些考生看到後文的負面原因會反射性想選「由於（due to）」，但若填入 (C)，語句會變成「因為自來水而使用瓶裝水」，在英文邏輯上並不夠完整（應為 due to the pollution of tap water）；相對地，選用 instead of 則能完美呈現 A 與 B 的消長與替代關係。這類題目在高考中屬於中等難度，能答對代表你對於句間的轉折與邏輯銜接有著敏銳的直覺。
