※밑줄 친 부분에 들어갈 표현으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. [문17.∼문18.]

Hunting big game would have likely been a dangerous activity in early times, especially before the invention of throwing spears about half a million years ago. Prior to this, hunting even small and medium-size game likely depended on thrusting spears (i.e., held in the hands while thrusting into the animal). Some have suggested that hunting may have occurred by chasing animals until they died from exhaustion. This technique is called persistence hunting and essentially means that a small group of people would simply chase a selected animal, perhaps for days, until the animal died from exhaustion. This makes sense to some since, while most game animals are quite quick over short distances, they usually cannot maintain the quickness over long distances. Bipedalism in humans, on the other hand, leads to __________________. People may not be as quick as some animals over short distances, but they can outlast them over long distances.

energy exhaustion

comparative disadvantage

extended endurance

teamed play

delayed attack

빈칸에는 “extended endurance”(늘어난 지구력)이 들어간다.
동물은 먼 거리에서 속도를 유지하지 못하는 반면(“on the other hand”), 사람은 “they can outlast them over long distances”(장거리에서 동물보다 오래 버틴다)라고 이어진다.
“energy exhaustion”: 지쳐 죽는 쪽은 동물이므로 인간의 특성과 반대이다.
“comparative disadvantage”: 인간의 장거리 강점을 말하는 문맥과 반대이다.
“teamed play”: 소집단 추격은 언급되지만 이족 보행이 낳는 결과로 제시되지는 않는다.
“delayed attack”: 지구력 사냥은 공격을 늦추는 것이 아니라 끝까지 쫓는 것이다.
