Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers ID: #40951 Long Oxygen
Instructions ›
You will see a video about the evolution and characteristics of animals across different periods. Listen to the recording and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

Transcript:

Oxygen is absorbed by blood vessels and the gills. Carbon dioxide is expelled. Over millions of years, some fish developed the ability to breathe the oxygen in the air above the sea. Amphibians are able to live both on land and in water. It was the reptiles who finally conquered dry land. The leathery shells of their eggs could safeguard the embryo without needing the protection of water. When some reptiles evolved warm blood and their scales became feathers, they conquered the air as well. The only other warm-blooded creatures on Earth are the mammals. These animals nurture their young internally and suckle the offspring with milk. They are the most complex animals on the planet.

Option 3: "All animals need oxygen to breathe and must reproduce to survive."

Explanation: The text explicitly mentions that all animals need oxygen to breathe and must reproduce to survive, aligning perfectly with the statement in Option 3.

Option 1: "Amphibians were the first creatures to develop warm blood."

Explanation: The text states that it was reptiles who evolved warm blood, not amphibians. This contradicts the statement in Option 1, making it incorrect.

Option 2: "Mammals are the only warm-blooded creatures besides reptiles."

Explanation: The text indicates that mammals and birds are warm-blooded, but does not state that mammals are the only warm-blooded creatures besides reptiles. This makes Option 2 incorrect.

Option 4: "Reptiles conquered the air by evolving their scales into feathers."

Explanation: The text states that reptiles evolved warm blood and their scales became feathers, which allowed them to conquer the air. This directly supports the statement in Option 4.

Option 5: "Fish developed the ability to breathe underwater without gills."

Explanation: The text mentions that fish absorb oxygen through gills, not that they developed the ability to breathe underwater without them. This makes Option 5 incorrect.
