Most scholars of ageing agree that an animal’s【S7】______lifespan is set by how long it can reasonably expect to escape predation (捕食), disease, accident and damaging【S8】______by others of its kind.

选项
答案
J
解析
动词辨析题。空格处位于must之后,缺少谓语动词,并且该词与介词for连用,因此需要填入不及物动词。该句想表达的句意为“一种理论认为,雄性必须靠竞争来赢得雌性的注意”,结合各选项,只有compete“竞争;比赛”符合题意。compete for“为……而竞争”。
