Question

the next time you walk in the woods, look carefully. you might find little creatures between the leaves or on the bark of trees. they are in plain sight, but they are hidden. how? they are camouflaged. their skins and body shapes imitate their surroundings. their disguises sometimes fool enemies and sometimes help them hide while they wait to catch even smaller creatures. insects that live mostly in trees are likely to be green, like the young leaves they eat. creatures that feed near the ground may have spotted or yellowish bodies, the colors of fallen leaves. shape can be as important as color. some grasshoppers look like small branches. the stick insect has no wings and a long, thin body that looks like a dry twig. many moths and butterflies wings are leaf - shaped. only when they move can you see these creatures easily. that is why so many of them can stay very still for a long time. can you find some of these actors on your next walk in the woods? based on the passage, which is the most likely reason camouflaged insects are compared to actors? 1. the insects have been trained to act like leaves and twigs. 2. like actors, the insects appear to be something they are not. 3. the insects take their disguises off and on like actors costumes. 4. the writer is making a movie or video of the insects.

Explanation:

Actors play different roles and appear as characters they are not in real - life. Camouflaged insects also appear as something they are not (like leaves, twigs) to blend into their surroundings.

Answer:

1. Like actors, the insects appear to be something they are not.
