| Echolocating bats emit sounds in patterns characteristic of each species that contain both frequency-
 modulated (FM) and constant-frequency (CF) signals.
 The broadband FM signals and the narrowband
 5      CF signals travel out to a target, reflect from it, and
 return to the hunting bat. In this process of transmission
 and reflection, the sounds are changed, and the changes
 in the echoes enable the bat to perceive features
 of the target.
 10   The FM signals report information about target
 characteristics that modify the timing and the fine
 frequency structure, or spectrum, of echoes—for example,
 the target‘s size, shape, texture, surface structure,
 and direction in space. Because of their narrow
 15    bandwidth, CF signals portray only the target‘s presence
 and, in the case of some bat species, its motion relative
 to the bat‘s. Responding to changes in the CF echo‘s frequency,
 bats of some species correct in flight for the direction and
 velocity of their moving prey.

 8. According to the passage, the information provided
 to the bat by CF echoes differs from that provided
 by FM echoes in which of the following ways?
 (A) Only CF echoes alert the bat to moving targets.
 (B) Only CF echoes identify the range of widely
 spaced targets.
 (C) Only CF echoes report the target‘s presence to
 the bat.
 (D) In some species, CF echoes enable the bat to
 judge whether it is closing in on its target.
 (E) In some species, CF echoes enable the bat to
 discriminate the size of its target and the
 direction in which the target is moving.
 
 
 9. Which of the following best describes the organization
 of the passage?
 (A) A fact is stated, a process is outlined, and
 specific details of the process are described.
 (B) A fact is stated, and examples suggesting that
 a distinction needs correction are considered.
 (C) A fact is stated, a theory is presented to explain
 that fact, and additional facts are introduced
 to validate the theory.
 (D) A fact is stated, and two theories are compared
 in light of their explanations of this fact.
 (E) A fact is stated, a process is described, and
 examples of still another process are
 illustrated in detail.
