VII. Read the passage and choose A, B, C, or D for each of the following questions.
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behaviour
might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometre radius of the
epicentre of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around
uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes early as several days before the
mishap. In 1976 after observing animal behaviour, the Chinese were able to predict devastating quake. Although
hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and
thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
