Question

2 research shows many benefits for early risers. according to certain studies, people who get up early tend to do better academically and are more focused than night owls. studies show that brains are more alert in the morning, which allows early risers to think more clearly. early risers also tend to be more motivated and set more ambitious learning goals for themselves than night owls do. because there are fewer interruptions in the morning, early risers have time to plan ahead and set goals. and most early risers have regular sleeping habits. this can lead to health benefits and a greater sense of well - being. moreover, studies show that early risers can be easier to get along
select the two pieces of evidence that the author provides for the following supporting claim: studies show achievement, health, and social benefits to being an early riser.
early risers exercise more regularly than night owls.
early risers may be more motivated than night owls.
early risers tend to be better planners than night owls.

Explanation:

1. For the claim about achievement, health, and social benefits of early risers:

• "Early risers may be more motivated than night owls" relates to achievement (as motivation can lead to better academic performance/achievement).
• "Early risers tend to be better planners than night owls" is supported by the text "Because there are fewer interruptions in the morning, early risers have time to plan ahead and set goals" which can contribute to achievement. The option "Early risers exercise more regularly than night owls" is not supported by the given text (the text talks about regular sleeping habits, not exercise).

1. So we analyze each option against the text:

• The text says "Early risers also tend to be more motivated and set more ambitious learning goals for themselves than night owls do" which supports "Early risers may be more motivated than night owls" (achievement - related).
• The text says "Because there are fewer interruptions in the morning, early risers have time to plan ahead and set goals" which supports "Early risers tend to be better planners than night owls" (achievement - related as planning can help in achieving goals).
• The text does not mention exercise, so "Early risers exercise more regularly than night owls" is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Early risers may be more motivated than night owls.
C. Early risers tend to be better planners than night owls.
