    When there is conflict over territory, animals will commonly use force, or a【C8】______of force, to decide which will stay and which will go.

选项 A、however
B、therefore
C、and
D、otherwise
答案 A
解析 此题为考查连词的语法类题目。这道题和74题需综合考虑，重要的是需把这句话和前面的一句话一起来读，就不难理解文义。前文讲到：当就领土问题产生争执的时候，动物通常使用武力，或炫耀武力，来决定谁留下谁走开。后文又说：非常有趣的是动物只使用必需的武力来赶走闯入者。所以可以判断此处需选择一个表示转折关系的连词。答案中只有however是表示转折关系，而且可以使用在两个逗号之间。
