請仔細觀察分號前後的兩組訊息：前一組訊息描述了瓶裝水的一個「顯而易見的優點」，而後一組訊息則提到人們「忽視了背後的代價」。請思考，這兩組訊息的性質是互相補充、因果關係，還是存在著一種預期之外的反差？在英文寫作中，當我們想要強調這種「雖然...但是...」的對比感時，通常會選用哪一種類型的銜接詞？

恭喜你精準地捕捉到了語意轉折的關鍵！在高考三級的英文測驗中，**連接副詞（Conjunctive Adverbs）**是克漏字題型的常客，這類題目考驗的是考生對文章脈絡的邏輯判斷能力。你能一眼看出正確答案，代表你對語句間的「轉折關係」有著相當敏銳的觀察力。
語意轉折與邏輯判斷
這題的解題核心在於理解前後句的邏輯對立。前一句提到瓶裝水比自來水「更方便（convenient）」，這是一個普遍認知的優點；然而後半句卻指出「很少人會質疑其來源與高昂成本」，這暗示了一個被忽略的隱憂或矛盾。當文章從描述表面的便利性，轉向討論背後鮮為人知的問題時，使用 however (B) 作為轉折是最合適的選擇，用來引導讀者進入一個與前述觀點截然不同、甚至帶有反思意味的論點。
