Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era, which is known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.
According to the passage, what is TRUE about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It varied quite greatly.
B. It guaranteed their survival.
C. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth.
D. It was rather uniform.

(Những con lớn nhất nặng gấp hơn 10 lần so với một con voi trưởng thành và gần tương đương kích thước của những con cá voi thời nay. Những loài khủng long nổi tiếng, bao gồm Thằn lằn sấm và Khủng long bạo chúa, cao từ 80 đến 90 feet. Tuy nhiên, không phải tất cả khủng long đều khổng lồ, một số thật ra không lớn hơn một con gà.)
