Question 4 of 5
Which of the following additional pieces of information supports the claim that napping during the workday will help employees 'be happier, healthier, and more productive'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The statement that rested people have better impulse control supports the claim that napping during the workday can lead to employees being happier, healthier, and more productive. Improved impulse control can result in better decision-making, including choosing nutritious food over junk food, which contributes to overall well-being and productivity.

Correct Answer: C

Choice B, 'Formal,' is incorrect because the tone is not stiff or ceremonious; instead, it is relaxed and personal. Choice D, 'Scientific,' is also incorrect as the tone is not focused on presenting technical information or research findings but rather on sharing a personal story.
