    "stimulus": "<strong>Which sentence or sentences imply that the cheetahs run fast?</strong>",
    "template": "<p>Most cheetahs live in the wilds of Africa. There are also some in Iran and northwestern Afghanistan. The cheetah's head is smaller than the leopard's, and its body is longer. This cat is built for speed. Its legs are much longer than the leopard', allowing it to run at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour! This incredible ability helps the cheetahs catch their dinner, which is usually an unfortunate antelope. A cheetahs spots are simply black spots, not rosettes or circles.</p>",
