Answer 2

Answer:

Contrary to popular belief, bats are not evil blood sucking animals. They are highly useful as they eat lots of harmful insects. These amazing mammals can catch up to 600 mosquitoes in one hour!

These are the corrections:

• On - to

- The use of the preposition 'on' with 'contrary' is an error.

• Is - are

- The subject 'bats' and the verb '(to be)' should agree with each other.

• High - highly

- The use of the adjective form of 'high' here is an error.

• On - of

- The use of the preposition 'on' with 'lots' is an error.

• Caught - catch

- The modal 'can' takes the first form of the verb.

• At - in

- The use of the preposition 'at' here is an error.
