▶ Your Answer :
Both the reading passage and the lecture
hold different position, respectively on the issue of feasibility of running
ability of Tyrannosaurus rex.
First and foremost, the lecturer mentions
that T.rex didn't need to move fast in the jungle.
According to the lecture, he suggests that
brilliant T.rex came to the prey without being notice and it would get a prey
by surprise like tiger. That is why dense jungle environment could not be
dangerous for T.rex. On the other hand, this rebuts the reading passage's
viewpoint that as they would crash into trees in the jungle, it would disturb
T.rex to run.
On top of that, the speaker argues that
huge legs would not be required for T.rex to move rapidly.
This is because its foot contacts on the
ground in a brief instance and he adds to this by explaining the case of horse
or chicken that could run fast. However, this refutes the reading passage's
explanation that their long and thin legs could not endure the amount of stress
running.
Lastly, the writer explains that its less
mass distribution on leg was not conducive to running.
But the lecturer claims this by mentioning
that there's no evidence to figure out its whole body image. The reason behind
this is that its skeletons would let people know about muscle and internal
organ only, but not external figure. |
