Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Each species of moth has an optimal body temperature for effective flight, and when air temperatures fall much below that temperature, the moths typically have to remain inactive on vegetation for extended periods, leaving them highly vulnerable to predators. In general, larger moths can fly faster than smaller ones and hence have a better chance of evading flying predators, but they also have higher optimal body temperatures, which explains why ______.
Q21: Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

large moths are generally able to maneuver better in flight than smaller moths
large moths are proportionally much more common in warm climates than in cool climates
small moths are more likely than large moths to be effectively camouflaged while on vegetation
large moths typically have wings that are larger in proportion to their body size than smaller moths do
most predators of moths prey not only on several different species of moth but also on various species of other insects
这体确实比较难;原文给了两个factor,即两种情况: 1。 Each species of moth has an optimal body temperature for effective flight, and when air temperatures fall much below that temperature, the moths typically have to remain inactive on vegetation for extended periods, leaving them highly vulnerable to predators.条件1时说如果气温太低,moth就全部冻住,容易被捕食——就是说大moth和小moth在被冻住的时候,被捕食率是一样的! 2。In general, larger moths can fly faster than smaller ones and hence have a better chance of evading flying predators, but they also have higher optimal body temperatures, 条件2说如果气温适宜,moths能飞的话(没被冻住),大moth的飞行技巧更高,所以能有效避免被捕食——就是说气温高的话,那就是大moth的天下;因为小moth飞行起来更容易被捕食,在一个period内被捕食率很高,逐渐的就只剩下大moth。
