选项 A、known
B、clever
C、knowledgeable
D、able
答案 D
解析 这里很重要的是要能正确地解读句子，把from archaeology和from very early inhistory这两个状语悬置，这样整个句子的框架就显露了出来。It is clear that humanswere to exploit a much wider range of food resources than other creatures．A项known与前文的clear重复，首先排除。B项clever和C项knowledgeable无论在语法上还是在语意上都不对。D项able(be able to…)是正确答案。
