Which of the following best fits in the blank?
An evolutionary perspective leads one to view the mind as a crowded zoo of evolved, domain-specific programs. Each is functionally specialized for solving a different adaptive problem that arose during hominid evolutionary history, such as face recognition, foraging, mate choice, heart rate regulation, sleep management, or predator vigilance, and each is activated by a different set of cues from the environment. But the existence of all these microprograms itself creates an adaptive problem: programs that are individually designed to solve specific adaptive problems could, if simultaneously activated, ________________, interfering with or nullifying each other’s functional products. For example, sleep and flight from a predator require mutually inconsistent actions, computations, and physiological states. It is difficult to sleep when your heart and mind are racing with fear, and this is no accident: disastrous consequences would ensue if proprioceptive cues were activating sleep programs at the same time that the sight of a stalking lion was activating ones designed for predator evasion. To avoid such consequences, the mind must be equipped with superordinate programs that override some programs when others are activated (e.g., a program that deactivates sleep programs when predator evasion subroutines are activated).

enhance each program’s functional product

evolve to solve all the adaptive problems at once

ameliorate the functions of all microprograms

come out with mutually harmonious results

deliver outputs that conflict with one another

빈칸에는 “deliver outputs that conflict with one another”(서로 충돌하는 결과를 낳다)가 알맞다.
빈칸 뒤 “interfering with or nullifying each other’s functional products”(서로의 기능적 산출을 방해하거나 무효화하며)와 수면과 도주의 예시 “mutually inconsistent actions”가 프로그램 간 충돌을 말한다.
“enhance each program’s functional product”는 산출을 높인다는 뜻으로 “nullifying”과 반대다.
“evolve to solve all the adaptive problems at once”는 동시 활성화가 “adaptive problem”을 낳는다는 내용과 어긋난다.
“ameliorate the functions of all microprograms”는 기능 개선을 뜻해 방해한다는 내용과 반대다.
“come out with mutually harmonious results”는 “mutually inconsistent”와 정반대다.
