A conservation group in the United States is trying to change the long-standing image of bats as frightening creatures. The group contends that bats are feared and persecuted solely because they are shy animals that are active only at night.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the accuracy of the group’s contention?

A. Bats are steadily losing natural roosting places such as caves and hollow trees and are thus turning to more developed areas for roosting.

B. Bats are the chief consumers of nocturnal insects and thus can help make their hunting territory more pleasant for humans.

C. Bats are regarded as frightening creatures not only in the United States but also in Europe, Africa, and South America.

D. Raccoons and owls are shy and active only at night; yet they are not generally feared and persecuted.

E. People know more about the behavior of other greatly feared animal species, such as lions, alligators, and greatly feared animal species, such as lions, alligators, and snakes, than they do about the behavior of bats.

论点：蝙蝠让人害怕仅仅因为其害羞，只在夜间活动。

OG解释说The group’s contention suggests that animals that are shy and active at night are feared and persecute for that reason.D establishes that raccoons and owls are shy and active at night, but that they are neither feared nor persecuted. Therefore, D is the best answer.

可是仔细看看原文，只有说蝙蝠，而不是泛指的所有夜间活动的动物呀。答案D举出反例其他动物也是在夜间活动，却并不让人害怕，如何能削弱蝙蝠呢？

我很困惑，请NN指教！

solely because they are shy animals that are active only at night.

这不是在说所有夜间活动不并且还羞的动物吗！
