Question

Winged Hunters

8 How do bats catch insects? As they soar high into the air, the bats use their wings to scoop prey into their mouths. All bats have almost hairless wings, which are like hands but with webbing to connect their fingers.

9 Since it’s dark when they hunt, bats use echolocation to find their prey. In this process, bats send out high-pitched sounds that travel in waves. These sound waves bounce off objects and return to the bats as echoes. Bats can determine the size and shape of an object and how far away it is by listening to the echoes.

Which statement best explains the organizational pattern used in the section “Winged Hunters”?
A
The listing of the tools that bats use to hunt in order of importance shows how there are certain weaknesses that species need to overcome.
B
The problem with hunting at night is stated to show how bats use their skills and physical adaptations as a solution for flying and finding food.
C
The description of the wings of a bat is used to show how they differ from other varieties of birds and creatures that fly.
D
The explanation of the advantage and disadvantage of bats' hunting without the aid of sunlight is used to show why bats need help from conservationists.

The passage presents the problem (it’s dark when bats hunt) and then explains their adaptations/skills (wings for scooping and echolocation) as the solution for finding and catching food.
