다음 글을 읽고 지시대로 답하시오. The rattles with which a rattlesnake warns of its presence are formed by loosely interlocking hollow rings of hard skin, which make a buzzing sound when its tail is shaken. As a baby, the snake begins to form its rattles from the button at the very tip of its tail. Thereafter, each time it sheds its skin, a new ring is formed.

Also, rattles tend to wear or break off with time. [홍익대 1998-1] 24. A rattlesnake's rattles are made of ______. [홍익대 1998-1] (A) bone (B) skin (C) wood (D) muscle |
