A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. <br><br><br> Prebiotics are the lesser-known gut-health promoters which serve as food for good bacteria inside the gut. We found that dietary prebiotics can improve nonREM (random eye movement) sleep, as well as REM sleep after a stressful event, said Robert Thompson, a PhD researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder in the U.S. Prebiotics are dietary fibres found naturally in foods like artichokes, raw garlic, leeks and onions. <br><br> When beneficial bacteria digest prebiotic fibre, they not only multiply, improving overall gut health, but they also release metabolic byproducts. Researchers fed three-week-old male rats a diet of either standard chow or chow that included prebiotics. They then monitored the rats' body temperature, gut bacteria and sleep-wake cycles — using electroencephalogram (EEG), or brain activity testing over time. Findings revealed that the rats on the prebiotic diet spent more time in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, which is restful and restorative, than those on the non-prebiotic diet.
