EXPLANATION #4
4. The passage suggests that which of the following is true of the forest regions in New Brunswick sprayed with most anti-budworm pesticides other than Matacil?
(A) The fecundity of some flowering plants in those regions may have decreased to an even greater degree than in the regions where Matacil is used.
TRUE
(B) Insect mortality in those regions occurs mostly among the larger species of insects, such as bumblebees.
False
(C) The number of seeds produced by common plant species in those regions is probably comparable to the number produced where Matacil is sprayed.
Not mentioned
(D) Many more plant species have become extinct in those regions than in the regions where Matacil is used.
False
(E) The spruce budworm is under better control in those regions than in the regions where Matacil is sprayed.
Not mentioned in the passage. Matacil is the point of the argument as pollinator killer and NOT control of budworm

EXPLANATION #5
5. It can be inferred that which of the following is true of plant fecundity as it is defined in the passage?
(A) A plant’s fecundity decreases as the percentage of unpollinated flowers on the plant increases.
(B) A plant’s fecundity decreases as the number of flowers produced by the plant decreases.
(C) A plant’s fecundity increases as the number of flowers produced by the plant increases.
(D) A plant’s fecundity is usually low if the plant relies on a small number of insect species for pollination.
(E) A plant’s fecundity is high if the plant can reproduce quickly by means of vegetative growth as well as by the production of seeds.
We said
They studied Matacil’s effects on insect mortality in a wide variety of wild insect species and on plant fecundity, expressed as the percentage of the total flowers on an individual plant that actually developed fruit and bore seeds.
Ok Metacil was tested in the way you read above: in a certain ratio. Do not need to remember in your mind. Just the location of the ratio in the passage just in case you need it to recall
The flowerS INCREASE due to pollination. If not, the will decrease and will not become a fruit
Therefore , the more we do not have pollination the more the fecundity DECREASE
A is correct

EXPLANATION #6
6. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following plant species would be LEAST likely to experience a decrease in fecundity as a result of the spraying of a pesticide not directly toxic to plants?
(A) A flowering tree pollinated by only a few insect species
(B) A kind of insect-pollinated vine producing few flowers
(C) A wind-pollinated flowering tree that is short-lived
(D) A flowering shrub pollinated by a large number of insect species
(E) A type of wildflower typically pollinated by larger insects
The fecundity effects described here are likely to have the most profound impact on plant species with all four of the following characteristics: a short life span, a narrow geographic range, an incapacity for vegetative propagation, and a dependence on a small number of insect-pollinator species.
The fecundity could be impacted for the reasons above
From the above clearly, C is the right choice. Remember the LEAST
