Read the passage and answer the question. Like many small animals, the bat is nocturnal; unlike most of its relatives, however, its front legs are modified to form wings. Because it flies at night, the bat does not rely on its eyes to see, but rather on its highly developed ears. The bat emits sound waves that bounce off objects that lie in flight path. The bat's ears detect the reflected sound waves and the bat swerves to avoid the obstacle. Other mammals, such as whales, use a similar system to navigate the ocean. Human beings have developed mechanical sonar systems for use in ships and submarines. 5 Select the correct answer. What does the author imply in this paragraph?
A. Bats can fly.
B. Sonar systems allow animals to "see" using their ears.
C. Small animals are nocturnal.
D. Whales are similar to bats.

Answer:

I think the answer is B. (Sonar systems allow animals to "see" using their ears.)

Explanation:

By process of elimination:

A. is incorrect because this statement is only indicated in lines 4 to 7. It is no way the central point of the paragraph.

C. is incorrect because; while the passage mentions that bats are nocturnal, It gives no indication as to whether it (the bat) is also small. Nevertheless, the passage also talks about whales which are the literal opposite of small.

D. is a very tricky option because it is actually implied in the paragraph. Personally, I think D is also a correct answer but my first choice is still B. because of the final statement on human application of sonar systems.

It's impossible to think of gre iterature without thinking of Mark Twain. Many people consider him the best of all American authors. Twain has been more widely read than an nerican author of his time--except, perhaps, Melville and Poe. Twain was born In Missour 1835. His real name was Samuel Clemens. He changed it when he worked as an apprentice to a pilot on a Mississippi steamboat. "Mark Twain' is a riverboat term meaning "two fathoms deep." In the 1860s during the Civil War, Twain moved to Nevada, then California, where he worked as a newspaperman. His writing soon became extremely popular, and he eventually published more than 20 novels and short stories. His humorous storles of small-town life, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, are considered by many critics to be his best works. Shortly after he became well known, Twain married Olivia Langdon. They had a rather unhappy marriage since his wife did not always approve of what he wrote. In 1894, he suffered a complete financial failure. After that, his writing was often filled with despair-so much so, that Twain ordered that some things not be published until after his death. He died famous, but alone and in debt, In 1910. Which conclusion is valid, based on the passage?
1. Mark Twain was the greatest American author of the 19th century.
2. Twain's marriage caused his financial failure. 3. Fame did not make Twain's life a happy one.
4. Mark Twain's later works were never published.​
