B.READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Write only the letter of the correct answer.

Among predatory dinosaurs, few flesh-eaters were bigger, faster and nastier than the "tyrant lizard" of popular
imagination, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. At least, that is what we have been led to believe.
Now research suggests that, far from being the Ferrari of dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose ferocious
reputation has fascinated generations of schoolchildren, was in fact a cumbersome creature with a usual running speed of
twenty-five kilometers an hour. This is a mere snail's pace compared with modern animals such as the cheetah.
Unlike some of the predators of today's African savannah, which can change direction almost immediately, the
dinosaur would have had to turn slowly or risk tumbling over. And while a human can spin forty-five degrees in a twentieth
of a second, a Tyrannosaurus would have taken as much as two seconds, as it would have been hampered by its long
tail. Thankfully, however, all its prey, such as triceratops, would have been afflicted with the same lack of speed and
agility.
The findings were reached after researchers used computer modelling and biomechanical calculations to work out the
dinosaur's speed, agility and weight. They based their calculations on measurements taken from a fossil dinosaur
representative of an average Tyrannosaurus and concluded the creatures probably weighed between six and eight
tonnes.
Calculations of the leg muscles suggest that the animal would have had a top speed of forty kilometres an hour,
which is nothing compared to a cheetah’s one hundred kilometres an hour. It is sobering to reflect, though, that an
Olympic sprinter runs at about thirty-five kilometres an hour, not sufficient to outrun a Tyrannosaurus, should Man have
been around at that time!
