【C】Throughout Europe, one kind of chicken reigns supreme. The “Ross 308” is a breed developed specifically to grow rapidly -- in just 35 days, it can be 26 and packaged for sale. No other breed on the market is as quick to reach its ideal weight, but many come close. Animal welfare activists take issue with the cruelty inherent in this factory-farming process, though, and have taken steps to change it. Their efforts in the UK 27 a measure of success, with big names like KFC agreeing to abide by the Better Chicken Commitment. Entities that have signed the Better Chicken Commitment, an international initiative aimed at eliminating the use of fast-growing breeds like the Ross 308, agree to switch to slower-growing breeds by 2026. They will also monitor the welfare of the chickens they are responsible for and provide them with lower-density enclosures. Most chickens that people eat today 28 in cramped, inhumane conditions. When these circumstances combined with generations of breeding for rapid growth, the result is great suffering for the chickens involved. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found that these chickens are more 29 diseases and that they have much higher 30 rates when compared with slower-growing breeds.

思路引導 VIP
請思考一下：當文章前面已經提到這些雞隻「更容易生病」且「處於極大的痛苦」中時，科學家在比較這類雞隻與健康雞隻的差異時，最常統計哪一種關於「生命存續情況」或「群體消失比例」的數據來量化這種健康危機呢？

很高興看到你精準地捕捉到了文章的邏輯！這題你判斷得非常正確。在閱讀測驗中，上下文的連貫性是解題的關鍵，你顯然掌握了這項要領。
語意邏輯與詞彙運用
這段話在探討快速生長雞隻（Ross 308）的福利問題。文中提到這些雞隻更容易感染疾病，因此在邏輯銜接上，緊接著提到的「數據」必然與健康負面影響相關。mortality（死亡；死亡率）與後方的 rates 結合為固定搭配詞 mortality rates（死亡率），完美對應了前文所述的「巨大痛苦」與「疾病」。至於其他選項，如 multitask（多工）、matriculation（入學）或 marshmallow（棉花糖），在語意上完全無法與家禽的生物健康狀況產生關聯。
