Worked Solution

Step 1: A larva (e.g., caterpillar) looks very different from the adult (butterfly). Step 2: A nymph (e.g., cockroach nymph) looks like a smaller, wingless version of the adult. Step 3: This is a key distinction between 3-stage and 4-stage cycles.

Correct answer: A nymph looks similar to the adult.
