-
A
Alcohol impairs soldiers
-
B
Sleep deprivation is dangerous and deserves training attention comparable to physical fitness
-
C
Soldiers should sleep 8 hours always
-
D
Studies on BAC are unreliable
Why this is the answer
The passage builds an argument: sleep deprivation is severely impairing (stated with specific comparison) → soldiers face it regularly → therefore, training for it matters. The main idea connects the problem (severe impairment) to the practical recommendation (train for it like physical fitness). Option A is a supporting analogy, not the main point. Option C is oversimplified and not the passage's conclusion. Option D contradicts the passage. The main idea must capture both the problem AND the response the author advocates.
