Answer:

D) Testing has shown that teenage boys between the ages of 15-18 sleep longer than teenage girls in the same age group.​

Explanation:

The best way to revise this sentence is given in option D.

Option A lacks all necessary details, simply stating that males sleep longer than females. The research/testing, children's age, and the hours are not mentioned.

Option B feels like the second best, but a very important piece of information is missing - the specific age. Teenagers are children aged 13-19, and the difference between 13- and 19-year-olds is huge.

Option C also lacks information about the subjects' age.

Option D is also not ideal but feels the most complete. It doesn't mention how much longer exactly the boys sleep, but that detail isn't as important as the specific age is.

How does the author characterize Theseus in the story? Cite evidence from the text in your response
PolarNik [594]

The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

Hope this helps!
