[Vocabulary] ______ are from Australia. They eat leaves and sleep a lot.

[sitifan]

______ are from Australia. They eat leaves and sleep a lot.
(A) Foxes (B) Tigers (C) Mice (D) Koalas
(a test question designed by a Taiwanese teacher)

The answer is option D.
Is option A also acceptable to native speakers?

 

[tedmc]

This is not a question on English but on general knowledge of Australia. Only koalas are native to Australia and they are herbivorous and sleep a lot.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Oh, come on. This has nothing to do with my being a native speaker. Think about what foxes eat.

(Cross-post.)

 

[Tarheel]

Think about what foxes eat.

Koalas?
;-)

 

[Skrej]

Grammatically, yes (but then all options are grammatical). Of course only D is true for several reasons.
