“Early school starts can turn teens into ‘zombies’”
by Stephen Ornes
Part A
Which is a claim from the text that is developed with sufficient evidence?
A. “During adolescence, the body goes through many changes. These include a shift in sleep needs.” (paragraph 12)
B. “In teens, this pressure takes longer to accumulate. So, teens don’t become sleepy as early as they did when they were children.” (paragraph 16)
C. “Sleep-deprived teens also are more likely than their peers to suffer from anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.” (paragraph 18)
D. “The list goes on: Studies have even connected insufficient sleep to lower grades in middle school, high school, and college.” (paragraph 18)
