DISCUSSION: Insect adaptations are mentioned in the third paragraph. The best approach is to select an answer that seems likely, then check for confirmation there.
___________
- CORRECT. The second sentence of paragraph 3 mentions this.
- Leaf and flower structures aren’t mentioned as being indicators of plant defenses. Only flavors and odors (line 49) are mentioned as being signs of defenses.
- This is amusing. Insects could reproduce more and try to overwhelm plant defenses with an army of vast numbers. Sadly, this wasn’t mentioned.
- Pollination is helpful to plants. Plants don’t try to form defenses against pollinating plants. The defenses are against insects eating plants.
- The passage never mentions different parts of plants.
