7. It can be inferred from the passage that some scientists believe that pterosaurs
(A) lived near large bodies of water
(B) had sharp teeth for tearing food
(C) were attacked and eaten by larger reptiles
(D) had longer tails than many birds
(E) consumed twice their weight daily to maintain their body temperature

Options BC & D aint specified or even remotely discused in the passage. As a matter of fact, even Option E aint discussed. In anycase, no line/sentence implies the frequency or magnitude of consumption.

Option A is ambiguous too. But its the closest option beacuse of the reasons mentioned by yeahdisk and lukester.
