Reading Comprehension, Summary & Composition
Solution
It can be deduced from the passage that snakes have
A
Large appetite for antelopes
B
No external auditory organ
C
Visible internal locomotive organs
D
No visual sense of measurement
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage states:
"Many snakes have specialized jaws that enable them to swallow animals that are far larger than their own heads."
This means snakes attempt to swallow prey much larger than their heads. From this, we can deduce that snakes do not judge the size of prey visually in the same way humans do. They lack an effective visual sense of measurement. If they accurately measured size by sight, they would be less likely to attempt swallowing prey that appears impossibly large.
While the passage says:
"Some snakes, such as the African rock python, have been observed eating animals as large as an antelope or a small cow."
This does not mean snakes have a special appetite for antelopes. It simply gives an example of the largest prey some snakes can consume.
