    Correct Answer
    B. Because humans are normally inside, out of reach of the bats.
    Explanation
    Vampire bats very rarely attack humans because humans are normally inside, out of reach of the bats. Vampire bats primarily feed on the blood of other animals, such as livestock, and have adapted to living in close proximity to these animals. Since humans typically reside in buildings and are not easily accessible to the bats, they do not frequently encounter humans as potential prey. Therefore, the risk of vampire bats attacking humans is significantly reduced.

    Vampires sleep in coffins.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Vampires are often portrayed in folklore and popular culture as creatures that sleep in coffins. This belief is derived from various vampire legends and stories, where vampires are said to find rest and rejuvenation in coffins during daylight hours. The idea behind this is that vampires are nocturnal beings who are vulnerable to sunlight, so they seek refuge in coffins to avoid exposure. This concept has been widely accepted and perpetuated in vampire mythology, making the statement "Vampires sleep in coffins" true.

    Explanation
    Vampire bats sleep in caves. Caves provide a safe and dark environment for them to rest during the day. Additionally, caves offer protection from predators and provide a suitable temperature and humidity level for their sleep. Sleeping in a cave also allows vampire bats to easily access their preferred food sources, such as blood from animals that inhabit the same caves or nearby areas.

    Correct Answer
    D. No. They can feed any time to keep with the crowd. Disappearing at night would raise suspicions.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is No. Vampire bats can feed at any time to keep with the crowd. Disappearing at night would raise suspicions. This is because vampire bats rely on blood as their main source of food, and they need to feed regularly to survive. If they only fed in the dark, it would limit their opportunities to find suitable prey and could potentially raise suspicions among their prey or other animals. Therefore, vampire bats can feed at any time, not just in the dark.
