In the given question, a passage with seven blanks labelled (A)-(G) is given. You are required to fill the correct word in the blanks.

A person’s quality of life can be disrupted due to(A)different reasons. One important yet underestimated cause for that is sleep loss (National Sleep Foundation 2007). Working(B)are constantly increasing along with an emphasis on active leisure. In certain jobs, people face_(C)__restriction. Some professions such as health care, security and transportation require working at night. In such fields, the effect of acute total sleep deprivation (SD) on performance is crucial. Furthermore, people tend to stretch their capacity and compromise their nightly sleep, thus becoming chronically sleep deprived.

When considering the(D)of sleep loss, the distinction between total and partial SD is important. Although both conditions induce several negative effects (E)impairments in cognitive performance, the underlying mechanisms seem to be somewhat different. Particularly, results on the recovery from SD have suggested different physiological processes. In this review, we separately(F)the effects of acute total and chronic partial SD and describe the effects on cognitive performance. The emphasis on acute total SD reflects the quantity of studies carried out(G)with partial SD. The effects of aging and gender, as well as interindividual differences, are discussed. We concentrate on the studies that have been published since 1990.

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

There are friends that you have polite chats with, and there are your best friends. They're the people who root for you, no matter what. You tell them your deepest, darkest secrets, and instead of heading for the door, they stick around and your bond with them grows stronger.

A friend recently sent me news about some phenomenal successes he is enjoying in a new business venture. I responded enthusiastically about his amazing gifts. He e-mailed back: "You, my friend, are too much! But I must say, I love having my own cheering section!" I responded, without even thinking, "What are friends for?"

Precisely! Friendship is about being what a hero of mine described as "balcony people" instead of "basement people." Basement people are those who live in our minds, telling us we will never amount to anything, that we are doomed to fail and that we are royal screw-ups. Balcony people are those who are consistently cheering us on. "Go for it," they say to our attempts to find our voice, to live in ever-widening circles, to dare, to create, to break through our lives' sound barriers. While not all of us are made to be married or to live in an intentional formal community, be it a kibbutz, ashram, monastery, convent or commune, all of us are created to live in some form of friendship. Friendships are what help us be human. 

My best friends and I get together regularly to share the deepest part of life, the part that is about being as opposed to doing. Sure, we speak about what we do in our jobs, our other relationships, our spiritual, athletic, medical, familial doings. But the experiential, life-giving juice that feeds our soul and binds us together over the years and takes us to ever deeper dimensions is the conversation we have at the being level. That's the place where your soul stands naked before someone else and receives unconditional acceptance in return.

From time to time, we speak about what an exasperation-free oasis our friendship is. Both of us have had some important relationships that soured because someone got exasperated with us. Not that we didn't deserve it. But there is something about my best friends, who just don't get exasperated with me, no matter how much I deserve it. As a result, I am not guarded with them, and when we fall back into old patterns of thinking, "If I tell him this, the friendship is over," that's where we have over the years taken the risk to tell it all. That's where the friendship is made even stronger.
