Circadian rhythms have fascinated scientists for many years. Recognizing that the eye nerves translate information to the brain about the time of day, scientists observe that we adapt to the conditions around us. Also, these researchers have recently discovered that not everyone is alike. For example, teenagers are nocturnal. That is, they are more active at night but do not function as well early in the morning.

  • A To entertain
  • B To inform
  • C To persuade
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

The passage provides information about circadian rhythms and how scientists have observed that individuals adapt to their surroundings based on information transmitted from the eye nerves to the brain about the time of day. It also mentions the recent discovery that teenagers are more active at night and do not function as well in the morning. Therefore, the passage is primarily focused on providing information about circadian rhythms and the differences in behavior among individuals, rather than entertaining or persuading the reader.
