问题     The fight for the $800 billion U. S. grocery industry has just
begun. Amazon has shaken up the playing field, traditional grocers have【S1】________
been slow to embrace technologies for online ordering, fulfillment, and
delivery. Today online orders make up for just 2% of grocery sales (in【S2】________
retail overall, the number is 10%). But e-commerce is quickly
growing: Some analysts estimate what by 2025, 20% of grocery【S3】________
purchases will be made online.
    And although Amazon/Whole Foods looms large, the e-commerce
giant is far to the decided winner. In the past year Walmart, Kroger,【S4】________
Costco, and Target have driven down costs and introduced delivery
capabilities in new regions, cut into Amazon’s market share.【S5】________
Meanwhile, new business models are thriving. Six-year-old Instacart,
for example, has secured a $7.6 billion valuation and a loyal follower【S6】________
by building a platform for grocery delivery and partnering with more
than 300 retailers.
    Instacart’s success underscore what may be the most important point【S7】________
about the grocery industry’s current state: Most shoppers today are not
loyal to single store or chain. The nature of customer loyalty is changing【S8】________
as shoppers get more comfortably buying groceries online—prioritizing【S9】________
convenience, choice, and ease over physical proximity to a store. As
consumers become more sophisticated, retailers need to inspire lasting
loyalty across its customer base. To do it, they should offer flexibility,【S10】________
proactively communicate about order status and other details, and build
emotional connections with shoppers.
【S1】
选项
答案∧traditional—but
解析 连词缺失。逗号前后两个分句句子结构完整，其问缺连词连接。根据第一个分句“亚马逊使整个行业重组”和第二个分句“传统杂货店在接受网上下单、打包和送货的技术方面进展缓慢”可知，前后两个分句是转折关系，故应在第二个分句的traditional之前加上连词but。
