📖 題組：
Wolf pack leadership has long been of great interest to many scientists. What makes a wolf decide to 41 out on its own and assert leadership of its pack? That question has long 42 scientists. Now, a new study shows that gray wolves infected with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii are more likely to become top dogs than uninfected wolves. The finding forces us to think more broadly about what influences how animals act, says Kira Cassidy, a 43 biologist. Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled parasite that infects at least one-third of the world’s human population at any given time with the disease toxoplasmosis. 44 the infection is usually mild, it can be fatal to the young or immune suppressed. It’s famous for its ability to 45 its hosts, most notably in making rodents reckless around house cats. Toxoplasma can only reproduce in the intestines of domestic or wild cats, yet it is widespread in nature, and can infect any warm-blooded animal.

恭喜你精準掌握了這題的關鍵動詞片語！這道題目在三等地方特考中屬於中等難度的字彙題，主要考查的是對「動詞 + out」常見組合的語境辨析。你能從眾多相近格式中選出最貼切的表達，顯示你對於英文道地用法（idiomatic expressions）有相當敏銳的直覺與紮實的基礎。
獨立闖蕩的道地表達：Strike out
為什麼 strike out 是唯一正確的答案呢？在英文中，strike out on one’s own 是一個非常經典的片語，意指「自立門戶」或「獨立展開新的冒險」。結合上下文，科學家好奇的是為什麼狼會決定離開原本的群體，獨自去闖蕩並建立領導地位。其他選項如 churn out（大量生產）、phase out（逐步淘汰）或 blurt out（脫口而出），在邏輯上都完全無法與「狼的獨立領導行為」產生合理的連結。
