175.Parasitic wasps lay their eggs directly into the eggs of various host insects in exactly the right numbers for any suitable size of host egg. If they laid too many eggs in a host egg, the developing wasp larvae would compete with each other to the death for nutrients and space. If too few eggs were laid, portions of the host egg would decay, killing the wasp larvae.
Which of the following conclusions can properly be drawn from the information above?
(A) The size of the smallest host egg that a wasp could theoretically parasitize can be determined from the wasp’s egg-laying behavior.
(B) Host insects lack any effective defenses against the form of predation practiced by parasitic wasps.
(C) Parasitic wasps learn from experience how many eggs to lay into the eggs of different host species.
(D) Failure to lay enough eggs would lead to the death of the developing wasp larvae more quickly than would laying too many eggs.
(E) Parasitic wasps use visual clues to calculate the size of a host egg.
behavior的定义是什么？不懂A的意思。
我觉得最小host egg的大小应该由最小wasp egg的大小决定呀？
我也是被逼无奈选了D，因为一个是developing larvae，一个不是。
请多多指正思路！
原文讲到产多也不行, 产少也不行.....
所以可以推出黄蜂要产刚刚好.....
所以最小的蛋可以推的出来( 因为是最小的host egg)(黄蜂的产量最小值可以知道, 但最大值就很难知道)
而(D)做了无关的推论
谢谢，这么推就明朗多了，就是拐的太厉害。
也许我们可以认为；数量也是表达行为的方式，以后再有类似就好办多了
