1. What is stated in the passage about Sleep Apnea?

• A. Sleep apnea causes chronic illness.
• B. Sleep apnea affects intellectual abilities.
• C. Sleep apnea leads to early death.
• D. Sleep apnea causes breathing interruptions.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Sleep apnea causes breathing interruptions.' The passage explicitly mentions sleep apnea as a condition where an individual stops breathing during sleep, indicating breathing interruptions. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not directly state that sleep apnea causes chronic illness. Choice B is incorrect because the passage discusses how lack of sleep affects intellectual abilities but does not specifically attribute this to sleep apnea. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not mention sleep apnea leading to early death. Therefore, the most accurate statement about sleep apnea based on the passage is that it causes breathing interruptions.
