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. To make plastic bottles, they need billions of gallons of oil every year and 2,000 times more energy than tap water needs.

請觀察空格前後提到的兩樣東西：『瓶裝水』與『自來水』。根據後文對自來水現狀（設施老舊、有毒）的負面描述，你認為在這種情境下，城市管理者是會讓民眾『同時飲用這兩者』，還是會傾向『用其中一項來替換掉另一項』？這種『取代』或『而非』的邏輯關係，在語法中應該如何連結？

恭喜你精準抓到了句中的邏輯轉折！這題考查的是**介係詞片語（prepositional phrases）**的語意辨析。在國考英文中，這類題目往往是考驗考生是否能透過上下文判斷出正確的邏輯銜接點。
語意邏輯的抉擇
從文意來看，後文提到自來水（tap water）設施老舊且含有毒化學物質（toxic chemicals），顯然這是一個「負面因素」。在這種情況下，美國城市不得不轉而使用瓶裝水來「取代」原有的供水系統。選項 (D) instead of（而非/代替） 正確表達了這種互斥的選取關係。相較之下，(A) in addition to（除...之外還有）或 (B) as well as（以及）都帶有「兩者兼具」的意涵，顯然不符合飲用水安全受威脅時的處理邏輯。
