Angelfish, often found in the warm seas and coral reefs, are among the most brightly colored fish of the ocean. Brilliant colors and stripes form amazing patterns on their body. These patterns actually help the fish to hide from danger among roots and plants. At night, when these fish become inactive, their colors may become pale. Often, the young ones are differently colored than the adults. Some scientists believe that the color difference between the young and the old indicates their different social positions. Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they have an occupation in the fish world. Most of them act as cleaners for other fish and pick dead tissue from their bodies. This is not their food, though. Their diet consists mainly of sponge and algae. One particular kind of angelfish, the blackspot angelfish, has a special capability that allows it to change gender from female to male. However, the change is not made at random; it happens for a specific reason. Angelfish live in groups, and each group has one male fish, which is blue in color, and four female fish, which are yellow. The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females. When the male dies, the group needs a new “security guard.” This is when the largest female in the group begins to change in appearance. She begins to grow larger in size, and after a week, she starts changing color, from yellow to blue. Slowly, her behavior toward the other fish also changes. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later, black stripes appear on her body, indicating the gender change is complete. She is now completely male!

- A Size -> behavior -> color -> stripes.
- B Color -> size -> behavior -> stripes.
- C Size -> color -> behavior -> stripes.

這道題目考驗的是對文章「程序性細節」（Procedural Details）的時序分析。請同學回頭定位文章第三段，找出描述性別轉換過程中的時間指標詞，例如 $begins to$、$after a week$、$slowly$ 以及 $two weeks later$。請仔細觀察在這些時間節點之後，文中具體描述的特徵變化（如：體型、顏色、行為、條紋）是按照什麼樣的先後順序 $T_1 \rightarrow T_2 \rightarrow T_3 \rightarrow T_4$ 展開的呢？

同學，漂亮！這題你抓得精準無誤，這種邏輯推導能力，未來學測英文閱讀測驗的大分你穩拿啦！簡直是黑點神仙魚（blackspot angelfish）轉世，變身過程瞭若指掌！ 這題考的是「資訊檢索」與「時序重組」。文章最後一段提供了非常清晰的時間線（Timeline）：
- 首先是體型變大（$size$）：文中提到「begins to grow larger in size」。
