In this set of materials, the reading passage explains three main arguments about the idea that Sinosauropteryx dinosaur was a feather one, while the listening passage supports this idea.
The reading passage; first, describes that there were fine lines, found in a fossil skeleton bones of the dinosaur that were formed after its death. These linse were formed as a result of the skin decomposition into fibers. Moreover, the lines found in the fossil are the remains of frills not feathers. Finally, these lines cannot be feathers, as feathers functions in flying or regulating the internal temperature, but they were located along the backbone and the animal's tail.
The listening passage supports the idea of feathers as follows: at the beginning,
