Passage - III:
Over-eating is one of the most wonderful practices among those who think they can afford it. In fact, authorities say that nearly all who can get as much as they desire, over-eat to their disadvantage. This class of people should save a great more food than they can save by missing one meal per week and at the same time they would improve their health. A heavy meal at night, the so-called dinner is the fashion with many and often it is taken shortly before retiring. It is unnecessary and could be forgone, not only once a week but daily without loss of strength. From three to five hours are needed to digest food. While sleeping, this food not being required to give energy for work, is in many cases converted into excess fat, giving rise to excess-weight. The evening meal should be light, taken three or four hours before retiring. This prevents over-eating, conserves energy and reduces the cost of food.
What is the most appropriate time for having evening meal?
- AAn hour after the sunset
- BThree or four hours before sleeping
- CBefore the sunset
- DJust before sleeping
Explanation
Directly stated: "The evening meal should be light, taken three or four hours before retiring." Not an hour after sunset (A), before sunset (C), or just before sleeping (D). Hence (B).
