crack nuts open. They select a large flat stone as anvil(a heavy block【S5】________
on which to place the nuts)and a smaller stone as a hammer. Stones
suitable for use as anvils ale not easy to find, but often a chimpanzee【S6】________
may carry a haul of nuts more than 40 meters to find a suitable anvil.

选项
答案 but—and
解析 连词误用。but作连接词表示转折对比关系，这里前一句讲“适合用作铁砧的石头不容易找到”，后一句讲“黑猩猩可能要拖着坚果走40多米远才能找到合适的石头”，前后两句是递进关系，用and即可。
