described as a large and unique creature as there is repetition
of long within the quote long-legged, long-necked and longtailed hippopotamus. The description also emphasises its
distinctiveness as the dinosaur is compared to a giraffe and
hippopotamus, through the adjectives stumpy and wide.

as there is also repetition of new throughout the article. The
dates highlight the age of the dinosaur 95 million years old
and also how incredible this discovery is as it is the third most
complete dinosaur discovered in Australia. The facts and use of
scientific jargon, sauropod and genus, reinforce the validity
of the report and support the discovery of a new dinosaur. The
article references an expert, Dr Poropat, further validating the
importance of the discovery of a new dinosaur as it could affirm
the uniqueness of Australias fauna. Hence, this article, allows
