选项 A、so
B、therefore
C、although
D、thus
答案A
解析 逻辑衔接题。句子前半部分提到Some telephone answering machines record for only 20 or 30 seconds after the beep(一些录音电话在嘟声后只有20至30秒的录音时间)，紧接着又提到you must respond quickly(你必须快速做出回应)。显然这两部分是因果关系，为前因后果。so是表示因果关系的连词，将两个半句连接成一个完整的句子。although是表示让步关系的连词，意为"尽管，虽然"，本句中两部分之间没有让步关系。there-fore是表示因果关系的副词，没有连词词性，不能直接连接两部分，原句中如果将逗号改成分号，则可以使用这个词。同样，thus也是表示因果关系的副词。
