Fun places to visit during a vacation.
The rainforest is home to many different plants and animals.
This passage was about the rainforest. The first paragraph talks about the different flowers and trees that grow in the rainforest and the second paragraph talks about the different animals that are in the rainforest. This makes the best answer, "The rainforest is home to many different plants and animals."
Though the last line of the passage does suggest what to pack, the passage as a whole was not about what to pack on a vacation. Also, we weren't given multiple places to visit during a vacation, so the passage wasn't about fun places to visit, it just talked about one place. Though we are led to believe that the rainforest would be a fun place to visit, because the passaged talked specifically about plants and animals, the best answer is that the rainforest is home to many different plants and animals.
