These early engineers likely used some of these tools to hunt and butcher wide range of【C3】______, from the aggressive buffalo to the tiny rat.
This sophisticated control【C4】______ fire reflects advanced smarts, and marks the turning point【C5】______we became " uniquely human," said study leader Kyle Brown, an archaeologist at the University of Cape Town.

选项
A、advanced
B、primitive
C、rough
D、simple
答案
A
解析
形容词辨析题。句意为:……加热这种石头,会很容易使它变成薄片,这使得人类能够加工更加高级的刀刃或其他工具。显然人类的这个发现使得自身制造工具的本领得以提高,从而制造出来的工具也更进步,故选择[A]advanced。primitive“原始的”;rough“粗糙的”;simple“简单的”。
