bats are nocturnal, which means they are active at night. because of this, humans rarely get a chance to interact with them. as a result, most people do not know as much about bats as they know about cats, birds, or squirrels. this causes a number of misunderstandings.
for instance, most people do not know what bats eat. they often assume that bats feed on blood and are harmful, but this is only true for 3 of the 1,100 different bat species.
in fact, most bats are helpful. the majority of bats eat insects that annoy humans. one insect-eating bat can eat 600 - 1000 mosquitoes in an hour. other bats eat fruit. like birds, these bats spread fruit seeds that grow into trees. a small group of bats eat nectar and pollen. these bats help flowers and plants reproduce.
next time you see a bat, thank it for all the good things it does.

2 which of the following best summarizes the passage?
a. many bats feed on fruit, nectar, and pollen, which help flowers and plants reproduce. bats are helpful and good, even though most people do not think that they are.
b. bats do not feed on blood and are not dangerous. they eat a lot of insects that are annoying to humans. some bats can eat up to 1000 mosquitoes in an hour.
c. bats are helpful, nocturnal animals that are often misunderstood. most bats eat annoying insects, while others eat fruit, nectar, and pollen, which help plants reproduce.
d. humans rarely interact with bats, so they do not know much about them. most people know a lot about cats, birds, and squirrels, but they do not learn about bats.
