1 A backyard fruit bat watches, "Swinging mallets! Spinning balls in a host of colors! A croquet set straight from the fairest of three-dollar garage sales." The bat, of course, has very poor eyesight. The bat tries to imagine happy backyard scenes through its blurry vision. Descriptions written by a bat only add to the appeal of Tim Ranch's latest novel, Sleeping Upside-Down. In paragraph 1, the word poor means A) thin. B) needy. C) unusual. D) unreliable.
