Hackers Actual Test – Integrated Writing 11

The lecturer argues that T.Rex was capable of running fast and catching prey. This counters
the reading passage’s claim that they were slow-moving scavengers.

First and foremost, the lecturer points out that the jungle environment would not have
prevented T.rex from running. This is because T.rex would only run short distances after
quietly stalking its prey. The lecturer explains that most forest predators operate this way,
and that it’s not dangerous. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that it was
impossible for T.rex to run in the jungle because it would have tripped or crashed into trees.

In addition, the lecturer suggests that big legs are not necessary for running because each
foot only briefly touches the ground. He gives examples of fast animals with long and thin
legs, such as horses and chickens. This strongly disputes the reading passage’s claim that the
long and thin legs of T.rex would have severely impeded its ability ro run.

Lastly, the lecturer contends that we don’t really know about the muscular body mass of
T.rex. Because we only have skeletal remains, there is no way to know how its body mass
was distributed. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that the distribution of body mass
of T.rex was not fit for running.
