The strongest encouragement to drink that young people receive, 28 , comes from advertisers.
答案：(D) however
前面已經講了電視節目對年輕人飲酒的影響（第二個原因），這句話說「最強的鼓勵，然而，其實來自廣告商」，however 帶出一個轉折／新的重點（暗示比起前面提到的原因，廣告商的影響其實更關鍵）；furthermore／moreover 是順接累加、consequently 是因果，都不是這裡的轉折語氣。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
這一段是在列舉原因，前面已經講了兩個，所以你會直覺覺得第三個應該用累加的轉承語，於是挑了 furthermore 或 moreover。但作者在這裡要做的不是再加一點，而是把重點整個轉過去。
四個選項都是轉承語，可見這一格考的是這一句與前面的關係。先讀懂這一句：The strongest encouragement to drink that young people receive, ___, comes from advertisers.（年輕人所接受到最強烈的飲酒鼓勵，……，來自廣告商。）注意 the strongest（最強烈的）這個字——作者的意思是：前面講的社會慶典與電視節目都還不是關鍵，真正最有影響力的是廣告商。這是把前面兩點往下壓、把重點轉到第三點，所以用 however（然而）。如果用 furthermore 或 moreover，語氣會變成「這三點分量相同、再加一點」，the strongest 就沒有著落了。順便注意位置：這裡的 however 夾在主詞與動詞之間，兩邊各一個逗號——這是轉承語很常見的擺法（同型：92 年第 21 題、93 年第 29 題、101 年第 18 題、102 年第 17 題、97 年第 30 題、105 年第 16 題）。
furthermore（此外）、moreover（此外）：兩個意思幾乎相同，依「同義的選項不可能只有一個對」可以一起砍掉；而且它們都是同向累加，與 the strongest 要表達的「這一點才是最關鍵」對不上。consequently（因此）：表因果，但前面兩個原因推不出「最強的鼓勵來自廣告商」這個結果。
however（然而，可放句首、句中或句尾）、furthermore（此外）、consequently（因此）、sponsor an event（贊助活動）、an advertiser（廣告商）、the strongest encouragement（最強烈的鼓勵）。
America encourages its young people to drink. 21 , our society makes drinking a part of every celebration.
