【C15】

选项 A、or
B、but
C、so
D、whereas

答案B

解析 上下文语义题。空格所在句两个is的主语都是servicemark(服务商标),谓语部分讲述的是两种不同的情况——“服务商标与商标类似”和“服务商标用于鉴别服务”,前者讲类似的情况,后者则讲服务商标所特有的特点,含有对比和比较的意味。B项but表示转折,强调servicemark区别于trademark的地方,符合这一语义。A项or表选择关系,C项so表因果关系,二者均不符合上下文的逻辑关系。D项whereas虽然也表转折,但后需接完整句子,而此处连接的is used to identify services省略了主语,故不宜用whereas。
