• B. why she was a spy during the Civil War.
• C. why she suffered from seizures.
• D. how she loved babies.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'why she wanted to escape slavery.' The author details Harriet Tubman's life as a slave to highlight the hardships and injustices she faced, motivating her to seek freedom for herself and others. Choice B is incorrect because while Tubman was a spy during the Civil War, the passage focuses on her experiences as a slave. Choice C is incorrect as the passage mentions her suffering from seizures due to a head injury, not as a primary reason for describing her life as a slave. Choice D is incorrect as the passage briefly mentions her experience as a nursemaid for a baby, but it does not focus on her love for babies as a key aspect of describing her life as a slave.

• D. Starting today, we will be providing a designated nap room in each office building near the gym and cafeteria to help employees take care of their bodies and minds, so they can be happier, healthier, and more productive.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the evidence from the 2008 study mentioned in the passage supports the inference that napping for 60 minutes can improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine. This indicates that providing nap rooms at work can lead to improved productivity by enhancing cognitive functions. Choice A talks about the fatigue reported by employees but does not directly link it to productivity improvement. Choice C mentions that many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps but does not specifically tie it to productivity enhancement.
