Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun.
Which sentence from the passage seems to suggest that the opposite is true for some living things?
To his surprise, the leaves continued to open each day as usual, even in total darkness.
Circadian rhythms help plants and animals and other living things keep in step with the daily and yearly cycles of the sun.
This helps animals stay in tune with actual day and night.
But soon the bright light in the morning and the darkness at night will reset your internal clock to match the local time where you are, and then you’ll be back on schedule.

The sentence that seems to suggest that the opposite is true for some living things is:
"To his surprise, the leaves continued to open each day as usual, even in total darkness."
This implies that some living things can maintain their cycles without the influence of light from the sun.
