They could not 【B1】______ with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws 【B2】______ an impressive ’smallfire’ weaponry. They could not even defend themselves 【B3】______ running swiftly like the horses, zebras or small animals.

选项
A、became
B、equipped
C、posed
D、provided
答案
D
解析
词汇辨析能力。此处不涉及变化,故became不妥。equip的用法是be equipped with或equip sb.with sth.,表示“装备”。pose此处作及物动词使用,表示“造成”、“构成”,相当于present。provide表示“提供”、“供应”。
