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.

Why can't teenagers get enough sleep?

(A) early start at school
(B) lot of work at school
(C) lot of homework everyday
(D) busy with friends

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) and (C) only

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (C) only

The passage mentions specific reasons why teenagers struggle to get enough sleep:

1. (A) Early start at school

   • The passage states: "With early school start times... getting enough sleep can be a challenge."
   • This confirms that early school timings make it difficult for teenagers to get sufficient rest.

2. (C) A lot of homework every day

   • The passage mentions: "Late afternoon practices and hours of homework" as factors affecting sleep.
   • This confirms that too much homework is a reason for lack of sleep.

Why are the other options incorrect?

 (B) A lot of work at school → The passage does not specifically mention schoolwork during the day as a reason for sleep deprivation, only homework after school.

 (D) Busy with friends → The passage does not say that teenagers lose sleep because of spending time with friends. It focuses on school schedules and homework.
