Transcript:

There's a lot of times I go through the zoo and a week will go by and I think to myself, you know, I haven't even noticed any animals around me because I don't pay attention to animals as much. Just as spectacular and exotic as the zoo's animals are, it's more than several thousand species of plants collected from around the world since the zoo's earliest days. During the 30s doctor here and there, I think 3 trips around the world and on a complete trip from South America and. He collected seeds on all of these trips. And came back and brought them back to the zoo. A lot of these things didn't grow. Some of them didn't, but a lot of them did. So that's why we have this outstanding botanical collection with plants in the zoo. From the grass area of Central Africa to certain animals that live in that type of environment, we've taken the same type of mountain life that would be in that topic and adapted it to this exhibit hill.

Option 2: "Seeds were collected from a single trip around the world."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that seeds were collected during multiple trips, but it does not specify that they were collected from a single trip. The mention of 'three trips around the world' supports this option.

Option 1: "The zoo exclusively focuses on animal exhibits."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text emphasizes the importance of the botanical collection alongside animal exhibits. The author mentions that the zoo has a significant collection of plants, indicating that it does not exclusively focus on animals.

Option 3: "Seeds were collected on multiple trips around the world."

Explanation: While this statement is true, it is not the correct answer to the question. The question specifically asks for key reasons for the outstanding botanical collection, and this option does not directly address the reasons provided in the text.

Option 4: "The collection includes only native Californian plant species."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text indicates that the botanical collection includes plants from around the world, not just native Californian species. The phrase 'collected from around the world' directly contradicts this option.

Option 5: "Efforts to replicate animals' native habitats with corresponding plants."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text discusses how zoo exhibits will combine plants and animals to replicate their native habitats. This reflects the zoo's efforts to create complete environments, which is a key reason for the outstanding botanical collection.
