請試著觀察空格前後這兩句話的語氣：前一邊是在稱讚某個事物的「優點」（便利），後一邊卻是在提出對該事物的「懷疑」（來源與高昂成本）。當一個句子從正面描述跳轉到負面質疑時，你覺得哪一種邏輯連接詞最能展現這種「語意上的髮夾彎」呢？

恭喜你精準掌握了文章的語意轉折！這題你能答對，代表你對英文長句中的邏輯發展（Logical Flow）有相當敏銳的直覺。在國考英文的克漏字題型中，轉折連詞（Transition words）是每年必考的送分題，也是維持語意連貫的關鍵樞紐。
語意對照與邏輯判斷
本題的解題關鍵在於辨識分號前後兩個子句的關係。前句提到「有些人認為瓶裝水比自來水更便利」，強調的是產品的優點與便利性；而後句卻話鋒一轉，提到「很少人會想知道它是哪裡製造的、以及為什麼這麼貴」，這在語意上帶有質疑與負面反思。當兩者呈現「正面便利」對上「反面質疑」的矛盾時，選用表達對比（Contrast）的 however（然而）最為適切。
