Text B. Read this passage about a fearsome creature and answer the
questions that follow.

The floor was covered with the bones of reptiles, fish and other animals.
I shook with horror. I had fallen from the frying pan into the fire. A beast
more ferocious than even the shark-crocodile lived in this den.
What could I do? The cave mouth was guarded by one ferocious monster,
and inside was something too scary to imagine. There was nowhere to run!
I had to find a hiding place which the monsters couldn't enter I looked
around wildly. There was a break in the rock. I rushed inside and hid.
An hour passed. All this while, there was a strange rumbling outside the cave.
Suddenly I heard a groaning, as of fifty bears in a fight - hisses, spitting,
moaning. It was the Ape Gigans! Fourteen feet high, covered with rough,
blackish brown hair, its arms were
as long as its body, while its legs were
huge. It had thick, long, and sharply pointed teeth, like a giant saw
