In the world of internet marketing, content is king. Companies compete for consumer attention like a crowd of fans clustered around a rock star’s tour bus hoping for autographs. Great content sets a company apart from its rivals, improves search rankings, and ultimately drives sales. Companies educate, engage, and entertain potential customers with memes, videos, quizzes, and articles. As customers consume the content, they become more attached to the company and more likely to make purchases.
What does the analogy in the passage compare companies to?

In 1912, Wilbur Scoville developed a scale for measuring the spiciness of peppers. The Scoville scale is still referenced today on many brands of hot sauce so that consumers will understand how much "heat" to expect from the product. This scale provides important information for those people who don't enjoy intensely spicy things. For example, a habanero chili is about 40 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper!

Marta was nervous about taking care of her neighbor's potted plants. She had no experience with gardening, and her family never kept plants inside the house due to her mother's allergies. Now, in Mrs. Brown's sunroom that was crowded with more than 20 live and exotic plants, she began to regret taking the job. Marta looked over the notes that were left for her on the potting table and rubbed her forehead. She had to read the first page three times before she understood how to feed the orchids.

Most forest fires and wildfires are natural. They clear away debris, old brush, and dying trees, leaving heartier trees better able to grow. In fact, some trees only produce seeds when heated by fire. If a wildfire removes thick shrubs and undergrowth, the water supply increases, which helps other plants and local animals. Fire may also kill predatory insects or pests that live on and damage otherwise healthy trees.
In two sentences, identify the main idea and at least one supporting detail of this paragraph.
