Read the following paragraph:

Ben Franklin once said, [1]"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." [2]But it's not always true in practice, is it? [3]Some of the most creative and productive people in our society sleep all day, working through the night and crashing when their children are just leaving for school in the morning. [4] Musicians and writers are as likely to work at night as during the daytime, and shift workers often work their way into better jobs by taking the graveyard shift early in their careers. [5] There are certainly disadvantages to working at night. [6] A sleepy driver is a danger to herself and others; exhaustion may even lower one's resistance to infection. [7] But it seems likely that those who are willing to work wherever, whenever may have a great many advantages in the modern workplace.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct response is Option E: 4 and 6.

Explanation:

The sentences in this passage that provide evidence are sentence 4, which gives examples of the kinds of careers where people might have to stay up late and thus sleep late.  Shift workers are one example if they work the night shift and then sleep during the day.  In Ben Franklin's time there was no electricity so it was much rarer to work in the evening hours or overnight. People got up early to take advantage of the daylight. In sentence number 6, they give examples of the disadvantages of working nights like being sleepy at the wheel or suffering from exhaustion.
