The phrase 'Like a Lamb to the slaughter' suggests that the slugs are patiently waiting for death. A lamb would not know that they are being led to death, all they see is bait, and they are content.

Like lambs to a slaughter suggests that the slugs (much like the sheep) have no idea that death comes soon, for the slugs either the birds will get them, they get dried out(?), or they risk being found by a human. For the sheep, they’re happy because they have an unlimited supply of food and they’re happy, but they’re being led to their deaths.

Answer:

The answer is B: Scientists are confused by the different ways the rocks move, and the theories involving wind, ice, and mud have not been proven.

Explanation:

In the second paragraph, it is said that scientists have been baffled by the variety of rock movement. Then, there was a description of their movement and some possible reasons for why it happens. Some of the reasons(wind, ice and mud) were suggested by scientists. The paragraph then ends by saying that none of the theories have been confirmed by research.

This is conveyed very well by option B therefore it the correct option as the main idea of the paragraph.
