2024학년도 사관학교 1차 선발시험 문제 영어 19번

19. 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

  Imagine yourself as a predator, perhaps a hawk. From on high, you spot what appears to be a tasty snake. If you hesitate for even a few seconds, your meal might be gone. Time is of the essence, and you must act quickly. But there’s a twist ─ a major one. If you mistake a venomous coral snake for a non-venomous king snake, it will cost your life. In the tradeoff between a meal and your life, the choice is obvious. For a predator, natural selection has shaped this decision-making process to favor the conservative choice ─ long-term benefits of survival over short-term benefits of a single meal. Thus, there is no need for the king snake to be a perfect mimic of the coral snake’s colors to win this round of the evolutionary arms race. The same logic applies when you’re deciding whether or not to eat a wild mushroom. If you are not absolutely sure,                 . The cost of your life would be too heavy a price to pay. [4점]
