Question

Read the excerpt from Butterflies Worth Knowing by Clarence M. Weed.

The butterflies and moths both belong to the great order of scale-winged insects—the Lepidoptera. They are distinguished, however, by certain general characteristics, which hold true for the most part in both groups. The butterflies fly by day; the moths fly by night. All of the higher butterflies go into the chrysalis state without making a silken cocoon, while most of the higher moths make such a cocoon.

Which inference can be made based on the information in the passage?

A.
All butterflies and moths are ranked by specific characteristics.
B.
Moths are larger in width than butterflies and more tolerant of cold air.
C.
Some lower butterflies and lower moths create cocoons with a silky texture.
D.
Butterflies and moths differ in the size and length of their antennas.
