Question

which statement best describes the main idea of paragraphs 10 - 11?
a. a \complex\ landscape includes only native plant species, which are more likely to attract native pollinators.
b. a \complex\ landscape provides pollinators with the resources they need to survive and pollinate more distant plants.
c. a \simple\ landscape attracts a single species of pollinator, while a \complex\ landscape attracts diverse pollinator species.
d. a \simple\ landscape produces similar crop yields as compared to a \complex\ landscape.

Explanation:

Without the actual paragraphs, we analyze each option. Option A is too restrictive about native - only plants. Option C focuses on the difference in pollinator species between simple and complex landscapes which may not be the main idea. Option D is about crop yields which may not be the central point. Option B likely captures the main idea as it emphasizes the resources a complex landscape provides for pollinators' survival and their ability to pollinate more distant plants, which is a key ecological concept often discussed in such texts.

Answer:

B. A "complex" landscape provides pollinators with the resources they need to survive and pollinate more distant plants.
