A.I. Explanation:

Question Focus: The diagram shows the height of Gigantoraptor and asks how tall it was.

Correct Answer: C

Passage Reference: Discovered in 2005. it stands more than three metres high at the hip and is the biggest bird-like dinosaur ever unearthed Yet its discoverer.

Why this is correct: The diagram label is asking about how tall the dinosaur was. The passage clearly says it stands more than three metres high, so the correct label is three metres.

Common Mistake: Some students choose erlianensis because it appears near the name. But that is the species name, not the height. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'stands more than three metres high' = Diagram: 'height'

Tips: When the diagram asks for size or measurement, scan for numbers and units like metres.

Key Vocabulary:

• stands = is
• unearthed = dug up

Question Focus: The diagram points to the dinosaur's head and asks about a physical feature.

Correct Answer: G

Passage Reference: Gigantoraptor, as it later became known, turned out to be an oviraptorid, a therapod with a bird-like beak.

Why this is correct: The diagram focuses on the mouth or head area. The passage tells us Gigantoraptor was a therapod with a bird-like beak, so that fits exactly.

Common Mistake: You might choose oviraptorid because it is in the same sentence. But that is a classification, not a body part. This is a wrong focus trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'bird-like beak' = Diagram: 'beak shape'

Tips: If the diagram arrow points to a body part, the answer is usually a physical feature, not a category.

Key Vocabulary:

• therapod = meat-eating dinosaur
• beak = hard mouth

Question Focus: The diagram shows when Troodon hunted during the day.

Correct Answer: I

Passage Reference: . Fiorillo says that the reason lies in the Troodon's large eyes, which allowed it to hunt at dawn and at dusk - times when other dinosaurs would have struggled to see.

Why this is correct: The diagram sentence mentions a time of day. The passage clearly says Troodon hunted at dawn and at dusk, so dusk fits this position.

Common Mistake: Some students choose warmer because climate is mentioned later. But this blank is about time, not temperature. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'hunt at dawn and at dusk' = Diagram: 'hunting time'

Tips: Check whether the diagram blank is asking about time, place, or reason before choosing.

Key Vocabulary:

• dawn = early morning
• dusk = early evening

Question Focus: The diagram compares Alaskan Troodon with dinosaurs from other climates.

Correct Answer: K

Passage Reference: n the Troodon found in warmer climates.

Why this is correct: The diagram compares Alaska with another climate. The passage directly says warmer climates, so the correct label is warmer.

Common Mistake: Some students pick hotter, but that word never appears in the passage. This is a paraphrase trap because IELTS does not accept invented synonyms.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'warmer climates' = Diagram: 'climate comparison'

Tips: In label diagrams, use the exact word from the passage whenever possible.

Key Vocabulary:

• climate = general weather
• polar = very cold

Question Focus: The diagram shows Troodon's position in its environment.

Correct Answer: B

Passage Reference: . Finding itself at the top of the food chain, the dinosaur evolved to giant proportio

Why this is correct: The diagram is about status or position in nature. The passage says Troodon was at the top of the food chain, so that matches exactly.

Common Mistake: Some students choose curved claws because hunting is mentioned earlier. But this blank is about rank, not tools. This is a wrong section trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'top of the food chain' = Diagram: 'ecological position'

Tips: Look for summary phrases like 'top of' or 'as a result' near the end of sections.

Key Vocabulary:

• dominant = most powerful
• evolved = changed over time

Question Focus: The diagram asks what evidence showed Microraptor could climb trees.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: . Although it couldn't fly. its curved claws provided the first real evidence that dinosaurs could have climbed trees.

Why this is correct: The diagram asks what feature proved climbing ability. The passage says its curved claws provided the evidence, so that is the correct answer.

Common Mistake: Some students choose asymmetrical vanes because feathers are discussed later. But that relates to flight, not climbing. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'curved claws provided evidence' = Diagram: 'proof of climbing'

Tips: Follow the passage order carefully. Earlier sentences often answer earlier diagram blanks.

Key Vocabulary:

• evidence = proof
• climb = move up

Question Focus: The diagram asks what feature suggested Microraptor might fly.

Correct Answer: H

Passage Reference: . Then we noticed that these long feathers had asymmetrical vanes, a feature often associated with flight capability.

Why this is correct: The diagram refers to evidence for flight. The passage explains that asymmetrical vanes are linked to flight capability, so this fits perfectly.

Common Mistake: Some students choose bird-like beak because birds fly. But the passage connects flight to feathers, not beaks. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'asymmetrical vanes associated with flight' = Diagram: 'flight feature'

Tips: When the diagram asks about cause or evidence, look for phrases like 'this meant that'.

Key Vocabulary:

• vanes = flat parts of feathers
• capability = ability

General Tips:

• Diagram questions follow passage order. Use the previous answer location to find the next one.
• Always match the diagram blank to the type of information needed, such as size, time, feature, or reason.
• Do not invent synonyms. IELTS label diagrams usually require exact words from the passage.
• Cross out options as you use them so you do not reuse the same word.
