D. Answer the questions below based on the text!

Green, or common, iguanas are among the largest lizards in the Americas, averaging
around 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and weighing about 11 pounds (5 kilograms).

They are also among the most popular reptile pets in the United States, despite
being quite difficult to care for properly. In fact, most captive iguanas die within the first year,
and many are either turned loose by their owners or given to reptile rescue groups.
 The green iguana’s extensive range comprises the rain forests of northern Mexico,
Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and southern Brazil. They spend most of their lives
in the canopy, descending only infrequently to mate, lay eggs, or change trees.

Primarily herbivores, iguanas are active during the day, feeding on leaves, flowers,
and fruit. They generally live near water and are excellent swimmers. If threatened, they will
leap from a branch, often from great heights, and escape with a splash to the water below.
They are also tough enough to land on solid ground from as high as 40 feet (12 meters) and
survive. Resting time is usually from afternoon till night.

31. What is the the text about?

32.What will the iguanas do if they were threatened?

33.What is the main idea of second paragraph?

34.When are iguanas active?
