36. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage? (A) Recurring outbreaks of infestation by gypsy moth caterpillars have had a devastating impact on trees in the northeastern United States. (B) A mechanism used by trees to combat the threat from gypsy moth caterpillars has actually made some trees more vulnerable to that threat. (C) Although deadly to gypsy moth caterpillars, wilt disease has failed to significantly affect the population density of the caterpillars. (D) The tree species with the highest levels of phenols in their foliage are the most successful in defending themselves against gypsy moth caterpillars.
37. Which of the following best describes the function of the third paragraph of the passage? (A) It resolves a contradiction between the ideas presented in the first and second paragraphs. (B) It introduces research data to support the theory outlined in the second paragraph. (C) It draws a conclusion from conflicting evidence presented in the first two paragraphs. (D) It shows how phenomena described in the first and second paragraphs act in combination.
38. It can be inferred from the passage that gypsy moth caterpillars become immune to the wilt disease as a result of _______. (A) consuming a wide range of nutrients from a variety of leaf types (B) feeding on leaves that contain high levels of phenols (C) growing population density, which outstrips the ability of the virus to multiply and spread (D) ingesting the virus together with leaves that do not contain tannin
39. Which of the following sequences correctly shows the historical development of origami?
