The chain of events in a story is the sequence of events, or the plot.
The central idea is what the main thing. For this, I think the central idea is simply Cactuses.
I'm not sure what another supporting detail can be, but if there's a back side, or another page about cactuses, I can sure help! But if that's the only side, ask your parents. xD
I believe the correct answer is exercitui.
You need the perfect passive form here, which is formed when you combine the verb esse in the present tense (here, sunt because of third person plural), and the appropriate participle in the same person, which in this case is exercitui - third person plural.
