They could not【C1】______with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws provided an impressive ’small fire’ weaponry. They could not even defend themselves by running swiftly like the horses, zebras or small animals. If the ape-men had attempted to compete on those terms in the open, they would have been【C2】______to failure and extinction.
