Instructions ›

Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

The great advantage of early rising is the head start it gives us in our day’s work. The early riser has done a large amount of hard work before other men even get out of bed. In the early morning, the mind is fresh, and there are few sounds or other distractions. In many cases, the early riser also finds time to take some exercise in the fresh morning air. By beginning so early, he knows that he has plenty of time to do thoroughly all the work he can be expected to do. All his work having been finished in good time, he has a long interval of rest in the evening before the timely hour when he goes to bed. After a sound night’s rest, he rises early next morning in good health and spirits for the labours of a new day.

Work done early in the morning is generally well done. The early riser does not have to hurry over any part of his day’s work. Sleep is most refreshing before midnight. The life of an early riser is more conducive to health than that of the man who rises late. The morning exercise supplies the early riser with a reserve of energy that will last until the evening.

Option 3: "Sleep is most refreshing before midnight."

Explanation: This statement is not supported by the text. The passage does not mention anything about the timing of sleep being more refreshing before midnight. Therefore, this statement is not true according to the information provided.

Option 1: "Work done early in the morning is generally well done."

Explanation: The text does not explicitly state that work done early in the morning is generally well done. While it mentions that the early riser has completed a large amount of work before others wake up, it does not provide a definitive judgment on the quality of that work.

Option 2: "The early riser does not have to hurry over any part of his day’s work."

Explanation: The passage implies that the early riser has ample time to complete his work thoroughly, but it does not explicitly state that he does not have to hurry. The phrase 'plenty of time' suggests he can work at a comfortable pace, but it does not guarantee he never hurries.

Option 4: "The life of an early riser is more conducive to health than that of the man who rises late."

Explanation: While the text suggests that early rising contributes to good health and spirits, it does not make a direct comparison to the health of those who rise late. Thus, this statement cannot be confirmed as true based on the passage.

Option 5: "The morning exercise supplies the early riser with a reserve of energy that will last until the evening."

Explanation: The text mentions that the early riser finds time to take exercise in the fresh morning air, which implies that this activity contributes positively to his energy levels throughout the day. However, it does not explicitly state that this energy reserve lasts until the evening, making this statement not true according to the passage.
