Contrary to what might seem logical, alpha males of many species engage in what might be dubbed “forced charity.” The (i)__________male bird in a group, for instance, certainly could command the lion’s share of the food due to his status, but instead has been known to force feed other males, which usually accept their gifts passively. This display—both the dominance of the alpha and the resulting (ii)__________of the lower status male—is undoubtedly an instinctive attempt to impress the females in the vicinity.
| Blank (i) | Blank (ii) |

| A. preeminent | D. contention |
| B. representative | E. acquiescence |
| C. subordinate | F. demurral |

So contrary to obvious, alpha male engages in forced charity. So logically they can get the majority share in food due to being Alpha but they sacrifice that. In the blank we need a word related to Alpha/Supreme - Preeminent
This display—both the dominance of the alpha and the resulting (ii)__________of the lower status male—is undoubtedly an instinctive attempt to impress the females in the vicinity.
So the dominance of the alpha and acceptance of normal male is an attempt to impress the females. acquiescence
Answer A E
