Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast
stretches of the land. Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of
trunks as straight as pillars. Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of
undergrowth. Still others lived in the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the
edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swan.
A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits
or seeds. Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their leaves had organs of sexual
reproduction and produced seeds. Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false
ferns (today completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants. Traces of these flora
of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of fossils. Such traces are most
commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds.
Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns. The
species that grow there are no longer those of the Carboniferous period, but their variety and

between deposits of _________
A. coal B. shale C. sandstone D. corollas
5. The word “bear” in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?
