Question 1 of 5

Which of the following evidence from the passage supports the inference that providing nap rooms at work can improve employee productivity?

A. In the recent company-wide audits, many employees have reported fatigue at work. B. According to a 2008 study, napping for 60 minutes helped improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine. C. Many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps, in industries like tech, manufacturing - even NASA! D. Starting today, we will be providing a designated nap room in each office building near the gym and cafeteria to help employees take care of their bodies and minds, so they can be happier, healthier, and more productive.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it provides concrete scientific evidence that napping can improve cognitive functions, directly linking it to productivity. Choice A only mentions fatigue without a direct correlation to productivity. Choice C mentions successful companies adopting nap rooms but lacks evidence of productivity improvement. Choice D is a practical implementation but lacks the scientific backing provided in choice B.

Question 2 of 5

What is a typical characteristic of male cicadas?

A. They have short antennae and wide-set eyes. B. They respond with a clicking sound when ready to mate. C. They make strident, high buzzing sounds by vibrating two membranes on their abdomen. D. They deposit eggs into the bark after mating.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because male cicadas make strident, high buzzing sounds by vibrating two membranes on their abdomen to attract females for mating. This is a typical characteristic of male cicadas as they use this sound to communicate and reproduce. Short antennae and wide-set eyes (option A) are not specific characteristics of male cicadas. Responding with a clicking sound when ready to mate (option B) is not a common behavior of male cicadas. Depositing eggs into the bark after mating (option D) is a behavior more commonly associated with female cicadas.

Multiple companies have designed special seats or pods specifically for getting the optimal workplace nap D. A study showing that the best time of the day for a nap is between 2 and 3 p.m.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because rested people indeed have better impulse control, leading to healthier food choices. This directly supports the claim that napping during the workday helps employees be happier, healthier, and more productive. Choice A is irrelevant to the benefits of napping. Choice C talks about workplace nap setups but does not directly link to the benefits mentioned. Choice D, while providing a specific time for napping, does not directly support the claim about improved health and productivity.
