: 答案C 我選D
: 想請問C該怎麼翻 又是從文章何處得知呢?


我是從原文第一句去解:

Darwin held that many more individuals are produced than can find food and
survive into adultood.

我覺得意思是:

食物有限,因此達爾文認為物種出生的數量超過可以存活到"成熟"的數量

題目問: Why species are "forced to" struggle for survival?

我覺得意思是:

為何物種要拼了命去求生存?

所以我會選C: 物種出生的數量多於可存活至"可繁衍下一代時期"的數量

D答案敘述正確,但是感覺沒有回答到題目問的事情.

希望對你有幫助
