Some believe that sleep gives the body a chance to recover ________ the day's activities.

• A. for
• B. from
• C. during
• D. of

Answer: (B)

This question tests which preposition naturally follows the verb recover when talking about what sleep helps you do after effort or exertion. Sleep gives the body a chance to recover from the day’s activities. The phrase “recover from” is the standard way to express returning to normal after something tiring or stressful. Using “for” would suggest sleep is meant to prepare you to handle the day, not to bounce back after it; “during” would place the recovery inside the day rather than after it; and “of” isn’t used with this verb in this sense.
