Multiple Choice QuestionsRead the passage carefully and choose the best answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
My most interesting visitor comes at night, when the lights are still burning- a tiny bat who prefers to fly in through the open door, and will use the window only if there is no alternative. His object in entering the house is to snap up the moths that cluster around the lamps. All the bats I have seen fly fairly high, keeping near the ceiling; but this particular bat flies in low, like a dive bomber, zooming in and out of chair legs and under tables. Once, he passed straight between my legs. Has his radar gone wrong, I wondered, or is he just plain crazy?

because there was no alternative
to eat the moths round the lamps
