You burn more calories sleeping than watching TV.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When you sleep, your body is still working to perform essential functions such as breathing, regulating body temperature, and repairing cells. This requires energy and therefore burns calories. On the other hand, watching TV is a sedentary activity that does not require much physical effort, resulting in fewer calories burned compared to sleeping. Therefore, it is true that you burn more calories while sleeping than watching TV.

Licking envelopes can gain you 40 calories.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Licking envelopes can actually gain you 40 calories. When you lick an envelope, you consume a small amount of adhesive glue that is used to seal the envelope. This glue typically contains carbohydrates and sugars, which contribute to the calorie count. While 40 calories may not seem like a significant amount, it can add up over time if you frequently lick envelopes. Therefore, the statement is true.
