Question

Why do we sleep? Pythons, bats and giant armadillos are among the longest sleepers at over 18 hours a day. Human babies need 16 hours, and most of us probably feel we need around eight hours sleep to function well. Professor Jerry Seigel from the University of California, Los Angeles, conducted a study of the SLEEP times of a broad range of ANIMALS and found that they vary WIDELY. Some, like migrating birds, can survive long periods without sleeping at all. He believes that shows sleep evolved to conserve energy: Jerry Seigel: 'It's animals that are needlessly active that will not survive, but animals that are most efficient and use their waking time to do vital functions, and are otherwise asleep that will survive. Sleep helps make best use of limited resources. In humans, when we're awake, our brain accounts for 20% of the energy we use when just sitting around. Sleeping also makes us less likely to get injured and less likely to be detected by predators. 1 - In the text, the underlined words "sleep", "aniamals" and "widely" function as: a) Noun-noun-adverb b) Adjective-noun-adverb c) Adjective-noun-adjective d) Noun-noun-adjective e) Noun-adjective-adverb 2- The pronoun "that" in "It's animals that are needleddly active THAT will not survive" can be replaced by: a) Whose b) Which c) Whom d) Who e) Where 3 - Choose the alternative that completes the following sentence: "__ University of California conducted __ research on __ effects of sleeping on __ variety of __ animals.
