perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the disaster.
In 1976 after observing animal behaviours, the Chinese were able to predict a terrible quake. Although hundreds of thousand
of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of people and thus keep the death toll at a lower rate.

C. Animals have certain instincts that humans don’t possess.
D. By running around, they can feel the vibrations.

B. By observing animal behaviour scientists perhaps can predict earthquakes.
C. The Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives.
D. All birds and dogs in the ten-kilometre radius of an earthquake centre become wild before the quake.
