Q #1: Napping Across Time Napping, a practice that weaves through the tapestry of history and culture, offers a fascinating insight into human rhythms and societal norms. Delving into the annals of time, we find ancient civilizations like the Romans embracing the afternoon "sexta," a brief slumber to restore vitality. In more recent times, the Spanish siesta carved out a sacred space in the day for rest, while the Japanese inemuri, translating to "sleeping while present," became an emblem of commitment to work. The allure of napping knows no bounds—across continents and eras, cultures recognize the value of this midday interlude. From Mediterranean countries to the heart of Asia, napping is not merely a break; it's an art form deeply ingrained in the fabric of daily life. It's a moment to escape the relentless pace, to recalibrate the senses, and to rejuvenate the mind. Which of the following additional pieces of information supports the claim that napping during the workday will help employees "be happier, healthier, and more productive"?
A. In 1999, National Napping Day was founded in response to Daylight Saving Time.
B. A study showing that the best time of day for a nap is between 2 and 3 p.m.
C. Multiple companies have designed special seats or pods specifically for getting the optimal workplace nap
D. Rested people have better impulse control, so they are more likely to choose nutritious food over junk food.
Answer Explanation
This choice provides information about the positive effects of being well-rested on making healthier choices. It indirectly suggests that napping during the workday can lead to better rest, which, in turn, can contribute to improved impulse control and healthier decision-making.

Q #10: On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday of Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning. This tradition has been officially observed in the US. since the 1800s, and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear, fox, badger, or even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic meteorologist. Although other cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day (or something similar), the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania takes special pride in being home to the one true forecasting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. At the turn of the twentieth century, townspeople formed the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to perpetuate the joyful rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come, and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil takes this as a sign that spring has arrived, and he remains above ground. Of course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin and that while animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule set by a Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsylvania to see Punxsutawney Phil and all of the fun he inspires each year might just provide the touch of hope needed to reach the end of winter Which of the following evidence from the passage supports the inference that Groundhog Day is an entertaining tradition?
A. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day, the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow.
B. This tradition has been officially observed in the U.S. since the 1800s and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions.
C. Over the years, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball.
D. On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday of Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning.
Answer Explanation
Over the years, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball clearly indicates that the groundhog Day is an entertaining tradition.
