Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
Rattlesnakes are among the most feared of reptiles. This fear is well-deserved because,
though most snakes are harmless, rattlers are poisonous. Some are large and some are small,
but all have the characteristic segments at the end of their tails, which they shake to produce
the rattle sound. Rattlers range in size from under two feet to seven or more feet in length.
The diamond-back rattler, easily recognized by the diamond-shaped markings along its back,
is the bulkiest of all poisonous snakes, though not the longest. Other smaller rattlers include
the pygmy rattlesnake and the timber rattler. It is believed by some that the age of a
rattlesnake corresponds to the number of segments of its rattle. But actually, a rattler adds a
segment each time it sheds its skin—up to four times a year. And, when about ten segments
accumulate, they start to fall off.
19. Select a false statement from below

(a) The timber rattler is among the poisonous snakes.
(b) Rattlers can get longer than 7 feet in length.
(c) Rattlesnakes are poisonous but not fearful.
(d) The rattlers shake their tail ends to make the rattling sound.
20. Choose one statement that is not true about the diamond-back rattler?
(a) It has diamond shaped markings on its back.
(b) It is the bulkiest of snakes.
(c) A rattlesnake adds a segment 4 times a year.
(d) It is also the longest of all snakes.
