Question

Read the rough-draft paragraph. Studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general physical health. Depending on the needs of an organization, many volunteer opportunities can involve physical movement. Volunteers at a local soup kitchen may, for example, find themselves unloading truckloads of donated supplies. Other research related to volunteering and staying healthy found that volunteers often experienced decreased chronic pain and fewer symptoms of heart disease. Of course, not all volunteer positions involve physical exertion. Tasks involving minimal movement, such as answering phones, filing papers, and/or addressing envelopes, should be combined with some type of physical activity. Using the stairs instead of an elevator or walking to work instead of driving are examples of easy ways to integrate exercise into a daily routine. Which statement most accurately describes the issue(s) in this paragraph?

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement that most accurately describes the issue(s) in this paragraph is "The paragraph contains sentences that wander from the main topic".

Explanation:

The first line of this paragraph states the fact that volunteering will definitely help and improve your physical health. Whereas the rest of the sentences have discrepancies around it. The paragraph presents both sides of the hypothesis, whether it is true that volunteering would help your physical health or not.
