But they don’t agree【C1】______when humans began using fire. Some researchers argue that it【C2】______more than a million years ago when early humans【C3】______their way to Europe from Africa, and【C4】______say it happened much later.

选项
A、soon
B、early
C、often
D、long
答案
B
解析
根据上文,科学界对于人类何时开始生活在地球上没有定论,这为解答该题提供了线索。整句表达的是人类最早什么时候开始在地球上生存这一问题。结合选项,early符合句意。how soon意为“多久”;how often用于提问频率;how long意为“多长时间,多久”。
