    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、establishes
B、builds
C、founds
D、erects
答案 A
解析 此题为词语辨析题。本篇文章主要讲述动物如何建立自己的领地。原文此处的句型比较简单，大意是：公的动物建立一片地区。area 是要选择动词的宾语。A) establishes 的意思是“成立，建立，设立，创立，开设”，可以与area 搭配；B) builds 的含义是“to make something by combining materials or parts (建造，通过组合材料或部分而形成)”，它可以与房子、国家等连用，而不可以与area 搭配；C) founds 也有“兴建，创建”的意思，但是它可以用于表示创建国家、理论等，而不能和area 搭配；D) erects 的意思是“盖，使竖立，使直立”，与文义相差甚远。
