📖 지문해석: 11월 1일부터, 주요 사무용품 캐비닛 접근 방식이 변경됩니다. 이전에는 근무 시간 동안 캐비닛이 잠겨 있지 않았습니다. 하지만, 재고를 더 잘 관리하고 손실을 방지하기 위해, 이제 접근하려면 열쇠가 필요합니다. 열쇠는 주중 오전 9시부터 오후 4시 사이에 프런트 데스크 안내소에서 서명 후 수령할 수 있습니다. 근무일이 끝나기 전에 모든 열쇠를 반납해 주시기 바랍니다. 이 새로운 시스템에 대한 여러분의 협조에 진심으로 감사드립니다.
📝 정답이유: 빈칸 앞 문장은 캐비닛이 '잠겨 있지 않았다'는 과거의 상황을 진술하고, 빈칸 뒤 문장은 '열쇠가 필요하다'는 현재의 변경된 상황을 설명합니다. 이 두 상황은 대조를 이루므로 '그��나'를 의미하는 접속 부사 'However'가 가장 적절합니다.
💡 실전팁: 문장 간의 관계(대조, 결과, 유사성 등)를 파악하여 적절한 연결 부사를 선택하는 것이 중요합니다.
