Question 1

Read the following passage and answer the given questions.

Giant dinosaurs lived on the earth much earlier than previously thought, according to a team of excavators in Argentina, who discovered the remains of a 200-million-year-old species. The species, baptised Ingentia prima, was about three times the size of the largest Triassic dinosaurs from its era. It was discovered in the Balde de Leyes dig site in San Juan province, 1,100 km west of the Argentina capital Buenos Aires. The finding was published in the Nature Ecology & Evolution journal. As soon as we found it, we realised it was something different. These were herbivore dinosaurs, quadrupeds, easily recognisable by their very long neck and tail, and from the sauropod group. Before this discovery, it was thought that giantism developed during the Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago.

The Triassic period extended from around 250-200 million years ago and the Jurassic from 200-145 million years ago. The dinosaur’s bone fragments displayed cyclical and seasonal growth, with a different kind of tissue to other sauropods, which it to grow quickly. It’s believed that the species grew to eight to ten meters tall and weighed around ten tonnes, equal to two or three African elephants.
What is the capital of Argentina?
