Take out the bare parts: the subject and verb: forests _____.
If you still can't tell, assimilate it to something easier. Let's say "they are".
Both "forests" and "they" are plural.
Now, you wouldn't say "they is"; the verb also has to be plural.
Back to "forests _____": forests contain. (A)
By the Process of Elimination, C and D are incorrect. You also cannot fill it out with "has contained" because that is singular. It would be "have contained", but that does not make sense in the context.
So, the final answer would sound like this:
The forests near my home contain many different types of trees and plants.
I hope that clarifies the problem (:

It is only possible to know the details and example that the author used, with the reading of the text. However, according to the knowledge we have about Cleopatra, we can infer that the author may have shown that because she was a woman, Cleopatra's leadership was often questioned and devalued and therefore, she needed support from men for the policies created by her were efficiently established. However, while these men helped her, they also wanted to take her power, making them unreliable.
It's D. Biography, I believe.
