Rearrange the following parts to form a meaningful sentence:
(A) the role of sound sleep in memory consolidation and
(B) sleep disruption increases the level of stress hormone cortisol
(C) research has demonstrated overwhelming evidence of
(D) our ability to generate innovative solutions to complex problems while
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Starts with (D) which cannot begin the sentence as it lacks a subject and context.
Option 2 -> Places (B) before (D), breaking the logical flow between "problems while" and "sleep disruption."
Option 3 -> Begins with (A) which needs a preceding clause starting with "evidence of."
Option 4 -> Creates proper flow: "Research has demonstrated overwhelming evidence of the role of sound sleep in memory consolidation and our ability to generate innovative solutions to complex problems while sleep disruption increases the level of stress hormone cortisol."
Hence, Option 4: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> The sentence begins with the research statement (C), establishes the first role of sleep (A), continues with the second role linked by "and" (D), and concludes with the contrasting effect introduced by "while" (B), creating a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence. -> correct
