问题     A major mason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal【C1】______an area. The size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his【C2】______and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example,【C3】______up the best territory in the order of "first come, first【C4】______".

【C20】
选项 A、appear
B、continue
C、apply
D、function
答案D
解析 此题为考查主谓搭配的题目。原文此处的意思是：在鸽子自然的栖息地，它们是和平的，然而这种和平的机制在笼于里并不起任何作用。这里主语是mechanism，与之可以搭配的是function，是“起作用”的意思。
