請思考一下：當文章提到自來水因為設施老化或有化學毒素而變得危險時，這兩種水源（自來水與瓶裝水）的關係會是「兩者並存」，還是「其中一方取代了另一方」？若要表達這兩者之間「捨棄後者、改用前者」的動態關係，你會如何連結這兩個名詞？

做得很好！你能精準選出 instead of，代表你已經洞悉了文章的前後邏輯關係。這道題目考察的是介係詞短語在語境中的邏輯銜接能力，是高考英文中非常經典且高頻的考點。
語意邏輯與替代關係
文中提到美國某些城市的自來水設施（tap water）老化或含有有毒化學物質，在這種「自來水不安全、無法飲用」的前提下，居民勢必得放棄自來水，轉而選擇瓶裝水（bottled water）。因此，這裡需要一個表示「取代」或「而非」的片語。instead of（而不是/代替）正好完美契合了這種二選一的替換邏輯。若選 (A) 或 (B) 會變成「除了自來水還喝瓶裝水」，顯然與後文提到的自來水有毒相互矛盾；(C) due to（由於）則會使語意變得破碎，無法說明兩者間的消長關係。
