What can be concluded from the text? 

Look at the picture and answer the question!

Why do you think the text accompanying the text is important?

The following text is for questiop 38 to 40.

    Bats are members of the order Chiroptera, meaning "hand-wing." Like all mammals, bats have warm blood and hair. They bear live young and nurse them with milk. Their wings are supported by long finger bones covered with two thin layers of skin, like the webbing between your thumb and first finger. This skin covering extends to the legs and, in some species, between the legs to the tail. Bats can use the wing and tail membranes to scoop insects.

    Bats have small, movable thumbs on the top of their wings for grasping and climbing. Their back feet are used for hanging.

    Less than of l percent of all bats are believed to carry rabies. Infected bats are rarely aggressive and soon die of the disease. Nonetheless, always avoid contact with any bat. If you are bitten or scratched by a bat, or any other wild animal, or have any contact with the animal's saliva, report it to your doctor and local health authority immediately. Capture the bat, if possible.
