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

       Which of the follwing, if ture, 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 snakes, than they do about the behavior of bats.

我本来选E。正确答案选D，OG上对于答案D的解释我看明白了。

但是我不明白的是E的解释。。

E   This suggests that more knowledge about the characteristics of some animal species may produce more, not less fear. But this is quite compatible with the idea that lack of knowledge about the behavior of bats could explain people's fearful reaction to them. One effect of lack of knowledge, for example, is allowing false beliefs to flourish.

      这里说对BATS行为缺乏认识是导致人们会做出可怕反应的原因。那这样一来不是削弱了作者的观点吗？为什么这个选项不对？还是我理解有误？请指教，谢谢~

"这里说对BATS行为缺乏认识是导致人们会做出可怕反应的原因。"这个是LZ对E的推理。。。E本身的意思 仅仅是人们了解别的可拍的动物比了解蝙蝠多。

依然不是很明白···

D明显比E更有说服力

G的逻辑里经常会有很多像E的选项，它可能会和题目有所联系，或许是能间接削弱加强，但是正确答案，也就是GMAC希望我们选的，往往更靠谱

我觉得这并不是LZ的推测，是OG给我们的误导。我感觉如果仅以做题的时候的感觉来看，很难看到E之后推出什么对bat行为的认识缺乏而导致做出了prejudice的判断。

看看OG的解释，我无论如何也看不出它是在说E没有weaken啊！

This suggests that more knowledge about the characteristics of some animal species may produce
more, not less fear. But this is quite compatible with the idea that lack of knowledge about the
behavior of bats could explain people's fearful reaction to them. One effect of lack of knowledge,
for example, is allowing false beliefs to flourish.

谁能来帮我讲讲，OG对E解释，究竟是在说什么哪。

第一句说，more knowledge produce more fear，？？ E哪有这个意思啊？

后面说的就是LZ对E选项的理解啦。lack of knowledge explain people's fear
