Depict a serene forest scene with varying layers of vegetation to represent undergrowth. Include tall, healthy trees with a few releasing seeds after exposure to heat, possibly represented by sunlight penetrating the thick canopy. A clear blue stream of water should be incorporated adding to the beauty of the scene. Show a variety of plants benefiting from the increased water supply and local animals drinking from the stream or resting in the shade. Somewhere, subtly illustrate a few insects or pests being exterminated by the sunlight's heat.

Use the sentence to answer the question. Certain trees, in fact, produce seeds only when fire heats them. If the fire removes thick shrubs and undergrowth, the water supply increases, aiding other plants and local animals. Fire also may kill predatory insects or pests that live on and damage otherwise healthy trees. Which set of context clues best points to the correct definition of undergrowth in the second sentence? (1 point) Responses "water, plants, animals" "water, plants, animals" "insects, pests, fire" "insects, pests, fire" "thick shrubs, plants, trees" "thick shrubs, plants, trees" "seeds, fire, animals"

The set of context clues that best points to the correct definition of undergrowth in the second sentence is "thick shrubs, plants, trees."

The set of context clues that best points to the correct definition of undergrowth in the second sentence is "thick shrubs, plants, trees." This is because the sentence states that fire removes thick shrubs and undergrowth, indicating that undergrowth is likely referring to the vegetation that grows beneath the larger plants, such as shrubs and trees.
