Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

1. An invasive species is any living organism that is not originally from a particular area but causes harm to the environment, economy, or human health. It is important to note, however, that not all introduced species are harmful. Some, such as potatoes and tomatoes, were brought from the Americas and are now widely grown around the world. A species is only considered invasive if it negatively impacts its new environment.

2. Invasive species are often generalists, meaning they can survive in many different conditions and use a wide range of resources. When they enter a new area, they can easily take food and water away from native species. Without natural predators or competitors to control them, invasive species can grow quickly. Many native species have not developed ways to defend themselves against these new invaders, making them vulnerable.

3. Human activities are the main reason invasive species spread. As people travel and trade goods, they often carry invasive species with them, either by accident or on purpose. Many invasive species, such as dogs, cats, pigs, and rats, were introduced by early explorers. For example, Norway rats, which originated in China, spread to many Pacific Islands in the 18th century by hiding on ships. These rats damage ecosystems by eating native animals and spreading diseases.

4. Although we now understand the risks of moving plants and animals outside their natural habitats, invasive species continue to spread through trade and travel. For example, the brown tree snake from Australia and Indonesia has caused the extinction of birds in Guam and frequent power outages. It is believed to have arrived in the 1950s in military cargo. If it spreads to Hawaii, it could cause significant damage each year.

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
