TPO11 Begging by Nestling Q13 - 英檢

Paragraph 1：Many signals that animals make seem to impose on the signalers
costs that are overly damaging. ■ A classic example is noisy begging by
nestling songbirds when a parent returns to the nest with food.
■ These loud cheeps and peeps might give the location of the nest away
to a listening hawk or raccoon, resulting in the death of the defenseless
nestlings.■ In fact, when tapes of begging tree swallows were played at
an artificial swallow nest containing an egg, the egg in that
"noisy" nest was taken or destroyed by predators before the egg in a
nearby quiet nest in 29 of 37 trials.■


13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following
sentence could be added to the passage.

The cheeping provides important information to the parent,
but it could also attract the attention of others.

Where would the sentence best fit?

答案：B

想請教各位，
將句子插入答案B的位置是可以理解的，
但我覺得插入答案C的位置好像也可以...>"<

而且插入句的主詞"The cheeping"
跟C位置的前面那句的主詞"These loud cheeps and peeps"也相符

插入C位置感覺是在為前面兩句下一個小結論。

想問問大家，為什麼插入C位置不可以呢？
是不是有什麼明顯的邏輯在句子中呢？



第二個問題，是Q14選項的一個句子：

It is genetically disadvantageous for nestlings to behave as if
they are really hungry when they are not really hungry.

想問這句話如何拆解呢？



先謝謝大家了！^0^"
