2) Read the following paragraph from the article “The Secret Truth about Napping.” “Doctors in training, known as residents, work very long hours. As a result, they are often sleep-deprived. Emergency-room doctors working at night also have problems sleeping. Sleep experts recommend that these health workers take short naps on the job. A team of researchers led by David F. Dinges, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, found that letting subjects nap for as little as 24 minutes improved their mental performance. So even short naps can reduce the number of mistakes a tired person makes.”

How does this paragraph provide relevant and sufficient evidence to support the claim that “a deep sleep, whether it is nighttime sleep or a daytime nap, primes the brain to function at a higher level?” Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.

PLEASE HELP

This paragraph supports the claim by providing an example of a situation where people need more sleep to function. Doctors do a lot of work on the job that requires higher brain function, as stated by the paragraph. The study mentioned provides good evidence for the fact that people should be well rested, saying it causes less mistakes.

Hope this helps!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
