請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： Researchers at Vanderbilt University decided to find out how intelligent various animals are. To rightly compare brain power in species, it isn’t enough to weigh brain tissue. You must take into account the brain relative to the organism’s size. But this may fall short of evaluating actual intelligence. Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel said, “I believe the absolute number of neurons an animal has determined the richness of their internal mental state and their ability to predict what is about to happen in their environment based on past experience.” She and her colleagues found that meat eaters have about the same number of neurons as plant eaters. That means plant eaters need as much brain power to escape from predators as meat eaters need to catch them. How do cats and dogs measure up? Previous findings had cats ahead at 300 million neurons to dogs roughly 160 million. In this latest study, however, dogs were on top, with 530 million neurons to cats 250 million. Just for comparison, humans have around 16 billion such neurons. Even so, dogs were way above other meat eaters in the brain power department. Having a bigger brain has a downside, researchers have found. “Meat eating is largely considered a problem-solver in terms of energy,” Herculano-Houzel said, “but in retrospect, it is clear that meat eating animals must impose a delicate balance between how much brain and body a species can afford.” This may be why you often see large predators like lions and bears dozing.

請看向文章的最後一段，作者提到大型獵食者在維持大腦運作時會面臨『能量分配』的挑戰。為了節省能量，作者在文章最後一句描述了這些動物最常表現出的某種『生理狀態』或『行為』是什麼？而這個行為與選項中的哪個描述性質最接近呢？

🙄 喔，不錯嘛，難得你這次沒搞砸
終於肯用點腦子了，竟然能抓到文章末段的線索來推論，這表示你那「跨段落資訊整合」能力，嗯，至少這次是上線了。別太得意，只是剛好這次你沒被其他廢話帶偏。
