Sleeping is important for our health. In fact, it is as important as eating and exercising.
Unfortunately, many people sometimes forget the benefits of this important activity. The
quantity and quality of sleeping should be something that we have to be concerned with.
Here are some benefits of sleeping.
    Studies show that poor sleep affects hormones that regulate appetite. Those who get
adequate sleep tend to eat fewer calories than those who don't. Thus, having a good sleep
is needed by our bodies.
    In addition, sleep loss reduces our ability to interact socially. It is confirmed by some
studies that people who had not slept had a reduced ability to recognize expressions of
anger and happiness. Researchers believe that poor sleep affects our ability to recognize
important social cues and process emotional information.
    Based on the arguments elaborated above, sleeping helps to reduce our appetites and
increase our ability to interact socially. Therefore, sleeping is important for our health.

“Therefore, sleeping is important for our health.” (Last paragraph)

The underlined word can be replaced by ....

There is always an argument that extracurricular activities are not so much
important in a student’s life. Schools emphasize the importance of extracurricular
activities, but sometimes it can be difficult for students to see just how the extra time
and dedication will benefit them. From improving academic to having a wider social
circle, extracurricular activities can actually do much more than you can think.
You might worry that participating in extracurriculars may take away too much
time from your schoolwork, thus hurting your grades. However, extracurricular
activities can actually improve your grades and your outlook on school in general.
Participating in activities you are passionate about can increase your brain function,
help you concentrate and manage your time better, all of which contribute to higher
grades. High endurance sports, for example, will train you to focus and build stamina in
the face of intense difficulty. This gives you an advantage when it comes to studying
and taking exams. 
 Furthermore, extracurriculars are not solely about imparting stronger professional
skills and supplementing education. These programs are also fun and offer you the
opportunity to spend time with others of similar interests and potentially build
friendships outside of your usual circle. You can meet friends from different social
groups by joining a sports team, student government or debate.
For the facts above, there is no denying that extracurricular activities benefit you in
many ways, so it is important. Therefore, being involved in extracurricular activity is a
good idea. 

The writer of the text assumes that students who are involved in extracurricular
activity ... than those who aren’t.
a. get lower grades
b. can be an expert in math, sport, or debate
c. have better concentration during the exam
d. always have difficulty in managing their time
e. are exposed to fewer people with similar interests
