思路引導 VIP
想像你面前有兩杯液體，一杯是乾淨的，另一杯被告知含有化學毒素。當你為了安全起見選擇喝下乾淨的那杯時，這兩者之間表現出的是一種「並存」的關係，還是「選擇其中一個而放棄另一個」的替代關係呢？

恭喜你精準地掌握了文意脈絡！這題你選對了。在高考英文的克漏字題型中，考點往往集中在「邏輯銜接詞」的運用。本段落探討飲用水安全問題，提到即便在美國，有些城市也必須使用瓶裝水（bottled water）來「取代」自來水（tap water），主因在於後者的管線老化或含有毒物質。這是一個典型的 A 代替 B 的情境，因此使用 instead of（而非/取代）最為貼切。
語意邏輯與因果推論
從難度切入點來看，這題屬於中等偏易的基礎題，主要鑑別考生是否能從後文「自來水設備老舊或含毒」的負面敘述，推導出前文「捨棄自來水、改用瓶裝水」的邏輯。選項 (A) in addition to 與 (B) as well as 均表示「除了...還有...」，會變成兩者皆用的意思，與後文避用自來水的動機不符；而 (C) due to（由於）則會誤導語意變成「瓶裝水是因為自來水才存在的」，邏輯上亦顯突兀。你能迅速識破這層替代關係，顯見你的語感相當敏銳。
