Last year's Question of the day (10-Oct-11) Dinosaurs are a diverse and varied group of animals; birds, at over 9,000 species, are the most diverse group of vertebrate besides perciform fish. Paleontologists have identified over 500 distinct genera and more than 1,000 different species of non-avian dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are represented on every continent by both extant species and fossil remains. Some dinosaurs are herbivorous, others carnivorous. Many dinosaurs, including birds, have been bipedal, though many extinct groups were quadrupedal, and some were able to shift between these body postures. Many species possess elaborate display structures such as horns or crests, and some prehistoric groups developed even more elaborate skeletal modifications such as bony armor. Avian dinosaurs have been the planet's dominant flying vertebrate since the extinction of the pterosaurs, and evidence suggests that all ancient dinosaurs built nests and laid eggs much as avian species do today. Although generally known for the large size of some species, most Mesozoic dinosaurs were human-sized or even smaller.
Which of the following can't be deduced from the passage?
| OPTIONS | | | | | 1) | Perciform fish have the most number of species and are a very diverse group of vertebrate. | | | 2) | Mesozoic dinosaurs weren't as big as most dinosaurs are expected to be. | | | 3) | Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs. | | | 4) | All dinosaurs laid eggs. | | | 5) | Dinosaur species are both – plant and animal eating. |
