The jaguar is sometimes called Americans El Tigre by South and Central Americans __________. Both names convey the awe and reverence this largest New World cat inspires. Their gold coat spangled with black rosettes was said to be the stars of night. In the Mayan religion, the sun took the form of a jaguar when traveling through the underworld at night.

  • A.jaguars live in the rain forests and more open countryside in South and Central America
  • B.they are known to be the largest members of the cat family there
  • C.the jaguar is the only big cat native to the Americas
  • D.long ago, they called it Yaguara, the "cat that kills with a single spring"

Answer: D

Correct answer: long ago, they called it Yaguara, the "cat that kills with a single spring"

The next sentence says both names convey the awe, so two names must already have been given. El Tigre is the first; the blank has to supply the second. Only the keyed option names one.
