  2. B. Therefore

A. However

解説

📖 訳: 11月1日より、主要な事務用品キャビネットへのアクセスが更新されます。以前は営業時間中はキャビネットは施錠されていませんでした。しかし、在庫をより適切に管理し、紛失を防ぐため、今後は鍵が必要になります。鍵は平日の午前9時から午後4時の間にフロントデスクの受付で署名して借りることができます。終業時間までにはすべての鍵を返却してください。この新しいシステムへのご協力に心より感謝申し上げます。
📝 正解の理由: 空欄の前の文は、キャビネットが「施錠されていなかった」という過去の状況を述べており、空欄の後の文は、「鍵が必要になる」という現在の変更された状況を説明しています。これら2つの状況は対照的であるため、「しかし」を意味する接続副詞「However」が最も適切です。
💡 コツ: 文間の関係（対照、結果、類似性など）を把握し、適切な接続副詞を選択することが重要です。
