They could not 【B1】______ with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws 【B2】______ an impressive ’smallfire’ weaponry. They could not even defend themselves 【B3】______ 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 【B4】______ to failure and extinction.
