Read the following passage and the questions given below it. Choose the correct answer.
Six hundred and fifty million years ago, a giant amalgamated southern supercontinent –Gondwana—
did indeed exist, centred roughly around the present-day Antarctica. Things were quite different
then: humans had not arrived on the global scene, and the climate was much warmer, hosting a
huge variety of flora and fauna. For 500 million years Gondwana thrived, but around the time when
the dinosaurs were wiped out and the age of the mammals got under way, the landmass was forced
to separate into countries, shaping the globe much as we know it today.
