Read the following passage and answer Question (1-5):

A rain forest, as the term suggests, is a kind of wooded area, subject to unusually heavy and frequent rains. Found only in the tropical or subtropical regions of the Caribbean, Brazil, Africa, and Asia, rain forests contain a great variety of trees including bamboo, pal, cedar, ebony, calabash and whitewood. Many of these trees grow to a height of more than a hundred feet, with dense canopies or crowns characteristically forming three distinguishable stores. Although ground flora is sparse, climbers of all kinds abound, and often exotic flowers appear inconspicuously in the thick foliage.
