Which of the following best fits in the blanks (A) and (B)?
Since the 2013 Snowden disclosures revealed the extent of government surveillance programs, it’s been a standard claim by intelligence agencies, seeking to justify their push for more powers, that their ability to track suspects using new technologies is under threat because of growing use of end-to-end encryption by technology companies. For example, in a speech in fall 2014, FBI director James Comey asserted: “the law hasn’t kept pace with technology, and this disconnect has created a significant public safety problem. We call it ‘Going Dark....’ We have the legal authority to intercept and access communications and information pursuant to court order, but we often lack the technical ability to do so.” (A)___________, a new study, published yesterday by Harvard University and funded by the Hewlett Foundation, debunks the notion that surveillance agencies are struggling with a data blackout. (B)___________, it argues, the rise of connected devices (the so-called Internet of Things) presents massive opportunities for surveillance, supported by technology companies having business models that rely on data-mining their own users－providing an incentive for them not to robustly encrypt IoT data.

(A)  (B)

However On the contrary

Likewise Furthermore

For instance Therefore

Nevertheless In addition

Consequently On the other hand

빈칸에는 “However”(그러나)와 “On the contrary”(오히려)가 차례로 들어간다.
(A) 앞은 정보기관의 “Going Dark” 주장이고 뒤는 이를 “debunks”(반박하는) 연구이므로 역접이다. (B) 뒤는 감시 기회가 “massive”(막대한) 규모라는 내용이라 자료 공백이라는 통념을 뒤집는다.
“Likewise”와 “Furthermore”: 유사·첨가의 연결어라 반박의 흐름과 맞지 않는다.
“For instance”와 “Therefore”: 예시·결과의 연결어인데, 연구는 앞 주장의 예가 아니라 반론이다.
“Nevertheless”와 “In addition”: (A)는 가능하나 (B)의 “In addition”이 앞 내용을 뒤집는 관계를 나타내지 못한다.
“Consequently”와 “On the other hand”: 앞 주장에서 연구가 결과로 도출되는 관계가 아니다.
