請留意句中的關鍵字 $even$（甚至）與 $surprisingly$（令人驚訝地）。在英文寫作邏輯中，這類轉折語氣通常暗示「程度上的強烈對照」。既然午睡時間短至「五分鐘」如此極端，那麼所產生的「效益」必須達到何種程度，才能讓作者用「令人驚訝」來形容，進而構成邏輯上的反差效果？

太棒了！你的語感非常精準！
- 大力肯定：太優秀了！你能從眾多選項中精確選出 dramatic (顯著的、大尺度的)，代表你不僅單字量足夠，更具備了高階英文所需的「脈絡邏輯感」，這正是學測拿高分的關鍵！
- 觀念驗證：這題的解題關鍵在於 even (甚至) 與 surprisingly (令人驚訝地) 這兩個詞。作者運用「五分鐘」的短暫與後方「好處」的大小做對比。既然五分鐘就能產生效果，那效果必定是「顯著的、令人驚豔的」，故選 dramatic 最為貼切。其餘選項如 minimal (極小的) 或 unproductive (無成效的) 在語意上會造成矛盾。
