In the cause of equal rights, feminists (女权主义者) have had much to complain about. But one striking piece of inequality has been【S1】______: lifespan. (In this area, women have the【S2】______hand. All round the world, they live longer than men. Why they should do so is not【S3】______obvious.

One theory is that males must【S5】______for female attention. Females are not subject to such pressure. If this theory is correct, the effect will be especially【S6】______in those varieties where males rival for the attention of lots of females.

选项
答案
I
解析
形容词辨析题。空格处位于be动词和副词especially之后,因此需要形容词作表语。根据上下文可知,此句要表达的句意为“如果这种理论正确,那么在那些雄性为赢得众多雌性青睐而争夺的种群中,这种结果就会特别——”,形容词选项中只有evident“明白的,明显的”符合题意。
