Complete the following sentence with a (compound) word derived from the one(s) given in bracket.

When animals have more food, they generally( )faster. (multiple)


【正确答案】:MULTIPLY
【题目解析】:

本题考查常见名词的动词形式。
由副词generally和faster可知,空缺处应填动词,multiple作名词意为“倍数”,其动词形式是multiply意为“繁殖、成倍增长”,符合题意。此处主句主语是they,使用动词原形即可。
句意:当动物的食物更充足时,它们通常繁殖得更快。
