For questions 23-25 read
the text and decide which answer ( a,b,c,d or e) best fits it. Circle the
right answer
Members of the flatfish
family, sand dabs and flounders, have an evolutionary advantage over many
colorfully decorated ocean neighbors in that they are able to adapt their body
coloration to different environments. These aquatic chameleons have flattened
bodies that are well-suited to life along the ocean floor in the shallower
areas of the continental shelf that they inhabit. They also have remarkably
sensitive color vision that registers the subtlest gradations on the sea bottom
and in the sea life around them. Information about the coloration of the
environment is carried through the nervous system to chromatophores, which are
pigment-carrying skin cells. These chromatophores are able to accurately
reproduce not only the colors but also the texture of the ocean floor. Each
time that a sand dab or flounder finds itself in a new environment, the pattern
on the body of the fish adapts to fit in with the color and texture around it.
23. It is NOT stated in the passage that
sand dabs
a) are a type of
flatfish
b) are in the
same family as flounders
c) have
evolved
d) are
colorfully decorated
e) can adapt
their coloration
24. According to the
passage, it is NOT true that sand dabs and flounders
a) have flattened
bodies
b) live along the ocean floor
c) live in the deepest
part of the ocean
d) live along the
continental shelf
e) inhabit areas
along the ocean floor
25. All
of the following are stated about the vision of sand dabs and flounders EXCEPT
that they are
a) overly sensitive to
light
b) able to see colors
c) able to see the sea
bottom
e) aware of their
surroundings
e) able to reproduce
colors
