Answer:

Chlorophyll is the main pigment found in plants. Other pigments are also present. If these other pigments were lost from a plant, but chlorophyll remained, what effect would this have on the plant? The plant would no longer be able to absorb wavelengths of light distinct from the ones absorbed by chlorophyll.
