In lots of people's minds, the mystery of what killed the dinosaurs and other species — paving the way for the rise of mammals — was solved a couple of decades ago: a giant asteroid or comet slamming into the Earth, resulting in a dust cloud that shrouded the sun, cooled the planet dramatically and killed off plants and animals wholesale. It's a compelling story, but plenty of scientists never completely bought it. The dinosaurs died pretty quickly, they admit, but not quite abruptly enough to be explained this way. So alternative theories — the dinosaurs succumbed to allergies, from the rise of flowering plants, or to world-shaking volcanoes in what's now India, or to disease — have always bubbled around the periphery of the conventional wisdom.

D. Talk about the relationship between dinosaurs and mammals.

6. Which of the following would make the best summary of the paragraph?
A. A giant asteroid or comet slamming into the Earth caused a dust cloud that cut off sunrays and the resulting low temperature caused dinosaurs to die.
B. The dinosaurs disappeared pretty quickly, but not abruptly because they were present all over the earth.
C. There are many explanations for the disappearance of dinosaurs some of which are conventional.
D. Although the disappearance of dinosaurs is generally attributed to a dramatic drop in earth’s temperature following an asteroid hitting the earth, there are several other plausible theories.

There could also be one-off questions on grammar, usage, and vocabulary.
