Question

In Tim Ranch's novel, a young fruit-bat is fascinated by children playing in a backyard. While upside down, the creature barely makes out images of swinging sticks and rolling balls in a host of colors and running humans. It is children enjoying a croquet set straight from the "fairest of three-dollar garage sales." The bat, of course, has very poor eyesight, but it is the bat's imagination-not just its vision and position-that propel the story. The bat imagines happy, laughter-filled backyard scenes. Descriptions presented by this bat only add to the appeal of Tim Ranch’s latest novel, Sleeping Upside-Down. In paragraph 1, the word appeal means A) charm. B) confusion. C) peculiarity.
