밑줄 친 부분에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?
The first commercially successful steam engine was built in England in 1712, but it was very slow. Then an inventor named James Watt came up with crucial innovations. His engine was faster and more efficient at driving machinery. By 1800 about 500 of Watt's steam engines were chugging and hissing in mines and factories throughout Britain. The widespread use of steam engines began when inventors put them to use in the textile mills. Using steam power instead of water power meant that factories no longer had to be built near ready supplies of water. ________, they could be located where fuel was readily available and where workers already lived. Also, factories could be built closer to roads and ports from which raw materials and finished products could be shipped.

Unfortunately

Nevertheless

Similarly

Instead

빈칸에는 "Instead"(대신에)가 가장 적절하다.
앞 문장은 공장이 "no longer had to be built near ready supplies of water"(더 이상 물 공급원 근처에 지을 필요가 없었다)이고, 뒤 문장은 그 대신 연료를 구하기 쉽고 노동자가 사는 곳에 세울 수 있었다는 내용이므로 대안을 제시하는 연결어가 필요하다.
"Unfortunately"(불행히도)는 긍정적인 입지 변화를 설명하는 흐름과 맞지 않는다.
"Nevertheless"(그럼에도 불구하고)는 앞뒤가 대립할 때 쓰므로 부적절하다.
"Similarly"(마찬가지로)는 유사한 사례를 덧붙일 때 쓰므로 대안 제시의 흐름과 맞지 않는다.
