Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to the questions.
In the beautiful highlands of Scotland, there is a lake called the Loch Ness. In these peaceful
surroundings, a sea monster known as the 'Loch Ness Monster' is said to be living in the lake. This creature,
affectionately known as 'Nessie', has been reported to be seen by many people around the lake. According
to these people, Nessie looked like a creature from the dinosaur age. It had a huge body, a small reptilian head
and a long neck.
Does the Loch Ness Monster really exist? No one can tell for sure. Ever since the sighting of the monster, many
people have been keeping watch at the lake, hoping to catch a glimpse of Nessie. In 1934, a doctor, Colonel
Robert Wilson, even managed to photograph the creature. The picture revealed a creature with a long neck
sticking out of the water.
Where could the Loch Ness Monster have come from? One explanation given is that the monster is a pre-
historic creature which lived in the days of the dinosaurs. While other dinosaurs have died out and become
extinct, this creature has somehow managed to adapt to its surroundings and live on !
