  • A. someone whose hobby is geology.
  • B. a paradise.
  • C. a plant-eating dinosaur.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The correct answer is (D). Lines 5-6 give the definition: " . . . paleontologists, scientists who use fossils to study prehistoric life forms." Walter Peck's hobby was geology, and in the course of pursuing his hobby he made the first find, but he was not a paleontologist.
