恭喜你精準地掌握了句間的轉折關係！這題你能答對，代表你對於英文長句的邏輯推論具有相當敏銳的直覺，這是準備高考（三級）英文不可或缺的核心能力。
語意邏輯的轉折與對比
本題前半句提到瓶裝水比自來水「更便利（convenient）」，這是一個普遍大眾認可的優點；然而，後半句卻指出「很少人會去思考它的來源或高昂成本」，這明顯帶有一種對現狀的反思與批判性觀察。當語意從「表面優點」轉換到「背後隱憂」時，兩者之間存在著明顯的對立關係。選項 (B) however（然而）作為轉折副詞，完美地銜接了這層語意落差。相較之下，(A) in addition（除此之外）用於資訊遞進，(D) consequently（因此）則用於承接因果，皆無法展現此處的對比張力。
