思路引導 VIP
若文中提到原有的供水系統因為設施老舊或含有毒物質而無法使用，此時人們改用新的水源來解決問題，那麼這兩者之間的關係是「額外增加」還是「彼此替換」？請思考哪種轉折語最能表達出「放棄前者、採取後者」的邏輯。

恭喜你精準地掌握了文章的因果邏輯！這題考查的是介系詞短語的語意辨析。從後文提到的「自來水設施老化或含有毒化學物質」可以推斷，在這種情況下，自來水已無法飲用，因此居民必須轉而使用瓶裝水。這在邏輯上屬於「A 取代了 B」的關係，而選項 (D) instead of（而非；取代）完美地連結了瓶裝水與自來水之間的替代性，是極其標準的用法。
語意邏輯與替代關係辨析
在高考英文的克漏字測驗中，這類題目屬於中等偏易的基礎題型，旨在鑑別考生是否能觀察到句首與句尾的細微因果。選項 (A) in addition to 與 (B) as well as 都帶有「兩者皆有」的遞進意涵，若選這兩者，則語意會變成「除了有毒自來水外，還要再喝瓶裝水」，顯然不符常理；(C) due to 則代表原因，放在此處會造成文法錯誤。你能透過後文的背景資訊排除干擾項，展現了良好的閱讀理解力與邏輯連貫感，請繼續保持這種對上下文細節的敏銳度！
