(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: C
The distinction between stage 3 and stage 4 is usually found in the presence of large delta waves, or slow waves. At the beginning of stage 3, delta waves constitute 20 to 50 of the electroen-cephalogram. Stage 4 is identified by the presence of the delta waves for at least 50 of the electroencephalogram recording.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: D
The deepest stages of non-REM sleep (stages 3 and 4) are referred to as slow-wave sleep because of the presence of large delta waves that appear when the sleeper enters these stages.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: A
This type of eye movement is indicative of stage 1 sleep.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: A
Alpha and beta waves are present during wakefulness and during the onset of quiet sleep.
