恭喜你準確捕捉到了文意中的「替代關係」！這題你能答對，代表你對上下文的邏輯轉折有很敏銳的觀察。在克漏字題型中，理解句子間的因果與對照是奪分關鍵。本題提到美國某些城市的自來水系統出現老化或化學污染，在這種情況下，居民便無法飲用原有的自來水，必須改採瓶裝水。因此，這裡需要填入一個表示「取代」的介係詞短語。
語意邏輯與介係詞應用
選項 (D) instead of 意為「代替」或「而非」，完美契合了「使用瓶裝水來取代自來水」的邏輯。其餘選項如 (A) in addition to（除...之外還有）與 (B) as well as（以及）都隱含「兩者兼具」的意思，與後文描述自來水有毒而無法使用的語境衝突；而 (C) due to（由於）雖表示原因，但在此句法中若選 (C)，會變成「因為自來水而使用瓶裝水」，語意較不精準且生硬。這類題目在高考中屬於中等難度，鑑別點不在於單字艱深，而在於考生是否能從後方的補充說明（自來水有毒）回推前方的動詞行為（替代）。
