Now, their time of decline has come. It began a long time ago.
Four-thousand-year-old rock carvings show that the people who lived in what is now Norway were probably the first to seek out and kill whales in the sea. By around 890 AD, 3,000 years later, the【C3】________ had spread to the Basque people of France and Spain, who【C4】________ whales from boats in the Bay of Biscay.

选项
答案
L
解析
近义词重现。根据词性,此处应当填入动词。此处与上文 “takes pictures of whales in the open sea,”构成并列,填入的动词应当与takes pictures时态一致,意思相近,故答案为sketches“画草图,素描”,此处意为把被困在海滩上的鲸鱼画下来,与上文“摄制鲸鱼在辽阔的大海里的照片”形成并列。
