英語の長文読解です。ベストアンサーさせていただきます🙇
(６)の問題ですが、私はreturnsだと考えましたが答えはrepeatsでした。
repeatという単語のほうが良いというのは分かっていて、理解もしていますが、returnだとどのようなところがだめなのか教えていただきたいです

3 次の英文を読んで 問い (1)~(20)に答えなさい。
*Periodical cicadas are ①"
(see) only in America. They live in groups like families. Every
group has a different *life cycle and stays in the same area for life. There are 15 different
groups. Most of them are on a 17-year *cycle. However, three groups have a 13-year cycle.
underground. When these cicadas become *adults, they
appear above ground to *mate. Soon after mating and
Most of their lives are spent deep
go up to the earth's surface and
*laying eggs, they die.
Periodical cicadas are one of the *noisiest *insects on earth. The reason for this is that
*inales *call out to the *females during mating season. Each male tries to call *louder than
others. After mating, one female can lay about 600 eggs in trees. When the eggs fall to the
ground, baby cicadas are born. Soon after that, they go under the surface of the earth
for food. They aig about 60 cm deep and stay underground until the spring of their 17th
year. Then, they are able to mate. That spring, the young cicadas come to the surface and
then shed their skins to become larger. This is called 6 molting. Molting changes them into
adults which are able to fly around, mate, and lay eggs. But soon after mating and laying
eggs, they die. The young cicadas dig into the earth and appear again another 17 years later.
So, the cycle (r ) again.
In 1970, one 17-year cycle group of periodical cicadas came to a university during the
graduation ceremony. A famous musician was giving a speech at that time. Later, he
(write) a song about the cicadas. They were so noisy, but he said they sang *beautifully.
Cicadas in this group appeared again during 1987 and 2004 at that university.
When periodical cicadas are in mating season, millions of them appear above ground.
They appear in large numbers for two reasons. The first reason is that all of them cannot
be eaten by birds and other insects. The second reason is that they can easily find and mate
with other cicadas. 99% of their lives are spent underground. They can live above ground
for only two weeks. They are one of the insects with the longest lives, but scientists don't
understand Acicadas know it is the B to go up to the surface.

repeatは、同じことや一連の動作を繰り返すこと、反復すること。
returnは、元の場所に戻る、移動・返却する。

セミのサイクル(生活環？)を再び繰り返すからrepeatかと。
returnだと、セミのサイクルに再び戻るとなり、。

穴埋めの1行前に、
若セミは地球に穴を掘り、17年でまた現れる、とある。

同じ周期に戻るとなると1回切りの感じがします。
だから、周期は繰り返すから反復を表すrepeatかと。

間違っていたら、ごめんなさい、上のように感じました🙇
