Question

in his argument in favor of starting classes later in the morning, joão is addressing the counterclaim that classes should not start later because doing so would limit students opportunity to participate in school sports and clubs. although starting classes later might well make it impossible for students to spend as many hours on after - school sports, getting more sleep would ensure that they got more out of the time they did spend on those activities. with more sleep, their sporting performance would actually improve. which evidence would best support joãos rebuttal? select three options. ☐ sleep deprivation harms memory. ☐ overtired teens are more prone to accidents. ☐ researchers do not know why human beings need to sleep. ☐ sleep deprivation has been used as an interrogation technique. ☐ teens dealing from sleep deprivation lose the ability to focus.

Explanation:

To support João's rebuttal (that later classes with more sleep improve after - school activity quality), we analyze each option:

• "Sleep deprivation harms memory": Better memory from more sleep (less deprivation) helps students get more from after - school activities, so it supports.
• "Overtired teens are more prone to accidents": More sleep (from later classes) reduces tiredness, so fewer accidents and better participation in sports/clubs, supports.
• "Researchers do not know why human beings need to sleep": This is irrelevant to the claim about later classes and after - school activities, does not support.
• "Sleep deprivation has been used as an interrogation technique": Irrelevant to the school context of classes and after - school activities, does not support.
• "Teens dealing from sleep deprivation lose the ability to focus": More sleep (from later classes) improves focus, so better participation in sports/clubs, supports.

Answer:

• Sleep deprivation harms memory.
• Overtired teens are more prone to accidents.
• Teens dealing from sleep deprivation lose the ability to focus.
