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
B
解析
形容词辨析题。空格处位于定冠词the和名词hand之间,因此需填人形容词。结合下文“纵览全球,女性比男性更长寿”可知,女性在长寿方面有优势,因此upper“上面的”符合题意。upper hand为固定搭配,意为“优势,有利地位”。
