Caterpillars

https://www.test-preparation.ca/audio/catepillar.mp3

 

Caterpillars
Butterfly larvae, or caterpillars, consume plant leaves and spend practically all of their time in search of food. Although most caterpillars are herbivorous, a few species eat other insects. Some larvae form mutual associations with ants. They communicate with the ants using vibrations that are transmitted through the soil as well as using chemical signals. The ants provide some degree of protection to the larvae and they in turn gather honeydew secretions.

    How is Eating the same as Searching for food? for the first question

      Presumably they don’t search for food to NOT eat it. I think Choice A is the BEST choice given the other choices. Perhaps a vague questions? Or perhaps not – I will review.

    The answer to 1st question can’t be eating. The Larvae spend most time in search of food and searching for food is not same as eating food. So logical answer should be D.
