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 are beneficial despite less time for after - school activities because more sleep improves the quality of time spent on them), we analyze each option:

• "Sleep deprivation harms memory": If sleep deprivation is bad for memory, more sleep (from later classes) would help students perform better in sports/clubs as they can remember better, so this supports.
• "Overtired teens are more prone to accidents": Overtired teens (due to lack of sleep from early classes) are at risk. Later classes mean more sleep, reducing tiredness and accident risk, supporting the idea that later classes are good.
• "Researchers do not know why human beings need to sleep": This is irrelevant to whether later classes are beneficial for students' after - school activities.
• "Sleep deprivation has been used as an interrogation technique": This has nothing to do with students' participation in school sports and clubs.
• "Teens dealing from sleep deprivation lose the ability to focus": If sleep - deprived teens can't focus, more sleep (from later classes) would help them focus better in sports/clubs, supporting the rebuttal.

Answer:

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