思路引導 VIP
當原本的首選方案（自來水）因為品質問題而無法使用，必須轉而改採另一個備援方案（瓶裝水）時，在英文中我們會使用哪一個介系詞短語，來表達這種「捨棄前者、改用後者」的邏輯動作呢？

恭喜你精準掌握了這道題目的語意邏輯！在英文閱讀測驗中，判斷空格前後的「因果」或「替代」關係是核心基本功。這題的關鍵在於後方提到的「設施老化（aging facilities）」與「化學物質（toxic chemicals）」，既然自來水不安全，美國城市自然得改用瓶裝水來「取代」它。
語意邏輯與替代關係的運用
選項 (D) instead of 意為「代替」或「而非」，在此處完美銜接了瓶裝水與自來水的轉換關係。其餘選項如 (A) in addition to（除...之外還有）或 (B) as well as（以及）在邏輯上會變成「同時使用」兩種水，與後文描述自來水有毒的情境不符；而 (C) due to（由於）則是因果關係，若選此項會變成「因為自來水而使用瓶裝水」，語意雖然微通，但在語法慣用法上，表達「以此代彼」最精確的用法仍是 instead of。
