CASE Review (2021-2022 ELA Final)

Which quotation provides support for the central idea of the text?

• The natural world is full of odd examples of plants and animals helping each other not just once in a while, but as a way of life.

• In these relationships, the larger plant or animal is called the host (like you are the host of your birthday party).

• This kind of relationship, where one animal is helped (usually by getting an easy meal), but the other isn’t helped or harmed, is called commensalism [kuh-men-suh-liz-əm].

• Pest eating is one kind of mutualism, but there are many other ways that animals (and plants) team up.
