Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:
Your body is almost two-thirds water, so staying hydrated is important. Teenagers should aim to drink six to eight glasses of water per day, according to the British Nutrition Foundation. That number increases for teens who engage in sports or are especially active. Other good sources of fluid include 100 percent fruit juice and low-fat milk. Sugary and caffeinated drinks should be limited or eliminated from the diet completely as they provide excess sugar and empty calories.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, teenagers need at least nine hours of sleep each night to function at their best during the day. It sounds easy enough, but with early school start times, late afternoon practices and hours of homework, getting enough sleep can be a challenge. Set a regular bedtime that allows for nine hours of sleep before you have to get up for school. You should also plan for at least an hour of "quiet time" prior to bedtime. The goal is for all electronics to be turned off for the night so that the brain and body relax. Quiet time may involve listening to soothing music or reading a book.
Sports persons need to stay hydrated. They should drink enough:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → water and 100% fruit juices
The passage says the number of glasses of water "increases for teens who engage in sports", and names the other good sources of fluid: "100 percent fruit juice and low-fat milk". Water and pure fruit juice are therefore the right drinks for a sports person.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: water, milk, coffee — Incorrect. Contradicted: coffee is a caffeinated drink, which the passage says should be limited or eliminated.
Option 3: water, juices, tea and coffee — Incorrect. Contradicted: tea and coffee contain caffeine, and the passage recommends only 100 percent fruit juice, not juices in general.
Option 4: Sugary and caffeinated drinks as well as enough plain water — Incorrect. Contradicted: the passage says sugary and caffeinated drinks "provide excess sugar and empty calories" and should be cut down or cut out.
