思路引導 VIP
若某樣東西（如自來水）被發現含有毒物質而不能使用，但人們仍有飲水需求，那麼他們對另一種替代品（如瓶裝水）的選擇行為，在邏輯上會是一種「同時並行」的關係，還是一種「排除前者、選用後者」的關係呢？

恭喜你精準掌握了語意邏輯！這題考查的是連接詞與介係詞短語的選用。在高考或三級考試的英文測驗中，這類題目往往需要透過「前後句的因果或轉折關係」來判斷。從文中提到的「自來水設備老舊（aging facilities）」與「供水系統含有毒化學物質（toxic chemicals）」可以得知，自來水在此情境下是無法飲用的。因此，人們並非「額外」使用瓶裝水，而是以瓶裝水**取代（instead of）**了原本的自來水。
語意邏輯與上下文連結
這道題目的鑑別度在於觀察考生是否能從後方的解釋性句子中，推導出前方的動作關係。選項 (A) 和 (B) 都帶有「兩者皆有」的意涵，而 (C) 則會讓句意變成「因為自來水而使用瓶裝水」，雖然邏輯勉強說得通，但在表達「更換／取而代之」的語境下，instead of 才是最地道且符合文意的用法。這類題目難度適中，只要能靜下心讀完後續的理由說明，通常就能迎刃而解。
