* Drag the correct answer into all target fields

So some of the time an intellectual challenge is to assimilate how similar we can be to others species.In other cases the challenge is to appreciate how, though human physiology that of other species, we use the physiology in novel ways. We activate the classical physiology of vigilance while watching a scary movie. We activate a response when thinking about mortality. We secrete hormones related to nurturing and social bonding, but in response to an adorable baby panda. And this certainly to aggression---we use the same muscles as does a male chimp attacking a sexual competitor, but we use them to harm someone because of their ideology.

conforms resembles fakes ease applies stress

Result:

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: resembles
Explanation: The word 'resembles' is a verb that indicates similarity, which fits grammatically as it agrees with the subject 'human physiology' in number and tense. Contextually, it aligns with the discussion of how human physiology is similar to that of other species.
Meaning: 'Resembles' means to be similar to or have a likeness to something.
Wrong options:
fakes: 'Fakes' is a verb that means to make something appear to be something it is not, which does not fit the context of similarity.
conforms: 'Conforms' suggests compliance or adherence to a standard, which does not convey the idea of similarity in physiology.
stress: 'Stress' is a noun that refers to mental or emotional strain, which does not fit as a verb in this context.
ease: 'Ease' is a noun or verb that refers to a state of comfort or freedom from difficulty, which does not relate to the concept of similarity.
Correct answer: stress
Explanation: The term 'stress' is a noun that refers to a physiological response to perceived threats, fitting grammatically as it serves as the subject of the clause. Contextually, it aligns with the discussion of human responses to mortality.
Meaning: 'Stress' refers to a state of mental or emotional strain resulting from challenging circumstances.
Wrong options:
fakes: 'Fakes' does not fit as it refers to something that is not genuine, which is unrelated to physiological responses.
applies: 'Applies' is a verb that does not fit as a noun in this context, as it does not describe a type of response.
conforms: 'Conforms' is a verb that implies compliance, which does not relate to the physiological response being discussed.
ease: 'Ease' refers to comfort or lack of difficulty, which does not describe a physiological response.
Correct answer: applies
Explanation: The word 'applies' is a verb that indicates relevance or suitability, fitting grammatically as it agrees with the subject 'this' in number and tense. Contextually, it connects the previous discussion about aggression to the idea that the same physiological mechanisms are used in different contexts.
Meaning: 'Applies' means to be relevant or suitable to a particular situation or context.
Wrong options:
fakes: 'Fakes' does not fit as it refers to something that is not genuine, which is unrelated to the concept of application in this context.
conforms: 'Conforms' suggests compliance, which does not convey the idea of relevance or application in the context of aggression.
resembles: 'Resembles' indicates similarity, which does not fit the context of discussing the application of physiological responses.
stress: 'Stress' is a noun that does not fit as a verb in this context, as it does not convey the idea of application.
