(1) Red-eyed tree frogs are brightly colored frogs that live in the rainforest. (2) They get their name from their large, bright eyes. (3) These animals have bright green skin with blue or yellow stripes on their sides and brilliant orange feet. (4) These flashes of color can confuse another animal long enough for the frog to get away. (5) In nature, bright colors can often be a warning sign of poison or danger. (6) When an animal comes close to a red-eyed tree frog, the frog will blink its eyes and pick up its orange feet. (7) Although these tree frogs are not venomous, scientists believe that the frogs' bright coloring might stop other animals from eating them. (8) Poison dart frogs are brightly colored and poisonous to animals that eat them. Read this draft of Marley's essay about tree frogs. Which sentence can Marley delete because it is NOT a supporting detail in the paragraph? A) Red-eyed tree frogs get their name from their large, bright eyes. B) In nature, bright colors can often be a warning sign of poison or danger. C) Poison dart frogs are brightly colored and poisonous to animals that eat them D) These flashes of color can confuse another animal long enough for the frog to get away.

A is not the answer because that line explains where frogs get their names from, and introduces the topic of bright colors talking about the frog's bright eyes. B links the topic of bright colors to the fact that they serve as a warning sign for poison or danger, and D supports this topic by stating that bright colors help red-eyed tree frogs survive in nature. C, on the other hand, introduces a new species of frog that is not talked about during the rest of the essay, and it does not support the idea of colors being crucial in the red-eyed tree frog's surivival.
