Select the sentence from the text "Crimson Butterflies and Their Mimics" that BEST exemplifies the central idea of the text. Species of butterflies like the Crimson Rose typically fly lazily and slowly, knowing that their unpalatable colors make it unnecessary for them to flee predators. Drinking the sweet and nutritious nectar of the Lantana flower is believed by many scientists to increase its fertility and egg production. The reason that many_predators find them unpalatable is due to their diet. Consuming large quantities of the Aristolochia leaf allows them to sequester several chemical compounds that are poisonous to birds. Some of the chemical compounds that the birds can't stomach include 'aristolochic acid.' Time and experiences teach the birds that the crimson butterfly is best left alone. These Lepidoptera were first identified by Western scientific researchers in 1758. Now, scientists have identified dozens of species that take the same migratory path across Sri Lanka, Southern India, and much of the Pacific Islands.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
