Weird Writing Question from Blue Book?

The use of the conjunction “and” in the first choice is imprecise. So even if you were to fix the parallelism error as by writing:

Bats and mosquitoes come out at twilight, and the bats come to look for mosquitoes while the mosquitoes come to look for people.

the sentence would still be poorly written.

[By the way, why do you view the question as “weird”?]
