Question

During the mating season, male great bustards develop a ___ change in color on their necks, from the usual plain grey to a two-tone pattern of white and brown.
(A) suspicious
(B) conspicuous
(C) protruding
(D) secreting

Accepted Answer

正確答案為 B。 求偶季雄性大鴇頸部顏色從灰色轉為白棕雙色的「顯眼」圖案，答案 conspicuous (顯著的)。 (A) 【形近字陷阱】suspicious 意為「可疑的」，與 conspicuous 僅差一個字母，是最典型的形近字陷阱。但語意完全不合，顏色變化不會是「可疑」。 (B) 【核心字彙】conspicuous 意為「顯眼的、引人注目的」。字根 spic/spect = 看，con- 加強。求偶期雄鳥頸部由單調灰變成白棕對比色，正是為了「吸引異性注意」，語意完美。
