Question: 125

12. The discovery of the dinosaur known as Jane revealed that

  • A. ancient fish most likely were covered in scales.
  • B. the Triceratops had an extremely large head.
  • C. dinosaurs were likely to be bitten by crocodiles.
  • D. teenage dinosaurs engaged in intense combat.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The correct answer is (D). The significance of Jane's discovery is discussed in the last paragraph of the passage. Here, the passage states that Jane had markings on her face that were most likely inflicted by another dinosaur about her size. These injuries suggest that teenage dinosaurs, such as Jane, might have become involved in ferocious fighting, so choice (D) is correct.
