Question

Instruction: answer questions 36 to 40 based on the following text.The Natural History Museum’s new star attraction In spring, the Natural History Museum in London will display the skeleton of a titanosaur,a creature so vast it will have to be placed into the 9-meter-high Waterhouse gallery. One of themost massive creatures ever to have walked on Earth, Patagotitan mayorum was a 57-tonnebehemoth that would have shaken the ground as it stomped over homelands that now formmodern Patagonia. Its skeleton is 37 meters long, and 5 meters in height – significantly largerthan the museum’s most famous dinosaur, Dippy the diplodocus, which used to loom over its maingallery. The remains of Patagotitan mayorum were uncovered in 2010 when a ranch owner inPatagonia came across a gigantic thigh bone sticking out of the ground. Argentinian fossil expertslater dug up more than 200 pieces of skeleton, the remains of at least six individual animals. Castshave been made of these bones by the Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio in Trelew, Patagonia,and these form the skeleton that will go on display in London in March. Patagotitan mayorum lived about 100 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period,near the end of the dinosaurs’ reign on Earth. It was one of the three or four biggest species oftitanosaur now known to science. These creatures were built like suspension bridges with a hugespine, a vast neck for gathering food from trees, and a tail to provide balance. “They wereherbivores that gobbled up plants and leaves and fermented them in their vast stomachs,producing huge amounts of methane as a byproduct – so you would not want to hang around theback end of one of these animals,” said museum dinosaur expert Prof Paul Barrett. Several mysteries still surround Patagotitan mayorum, however. “You find remains of bigdinosaurs in many places but in Patagonia you get ones that are absolutely massive, liketitanosaurs,” Barrett said. “So was there something special about the ecology of the region at thistime or have we just been unlucky so far in not finding titanosaur remains elsewhere?” It is alsonot clear why the six animals died so close together. “They were all almost fully grown and diedat the same site,” said Sinead Marron, the exhibition’s lead curator. “But why? What could havedone that? It is not clear, though the mystery gives an extra dimension to the story of thesewonderful animals.”(Available in: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/nov/26/titanosaur-natural-history-museum-dippy-the-diplodocus – text adapted specially for this test).
