Select the correct text in the passage.
Which two words are domain-specific words?
In the 1860s, a fossil of an avian or flying dinosaur known as Archaeopteryx was found. Scientists identified it as a combination of bird and reptile. This discovery led to the theory that birds have evolved from carnivorous avian dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx lived in the southern region of Germany during the Late Jurassic period when Germany had a tropical climate.

Answer 1

Avian and carnivorous.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain-specific terms are those that are related to a certain field of study but are unlikely to be employed in common speech. It is reasonable to assume that because the focus of this work is recent fossil discoveries, we will come across several terms related to palaeontology. Words like "climate," "scientists," and "dinosaurs" are ones that most people are familiar with (lot of kids have dinosaurus toys, we hear about climate everyday in weather report, we know about many famous scientists and their discoveries). Although we may understand what the phrases "avian" and "carnivorous" signify, they are mostly employed in the field of palaeontology.
