While a definition of 'power' may be needed, one could argue that poetry has a specific type of power, related to the transmission of experience. Humanity's first approaches to culture communication were done on verse, in the form of poetry (as one can see on the different chansons de geste around Europe, Homeric poems and Greek theatre, and the folklore of orient, for example). Poetic language can transmit human experiences; it can, through the use of verse, of repetition and other poetic devices, cultivate the memory of a particular experience, moment or emotion in a way that prose, due to its to novelty and information, can´t.

Naya [18.7K]

At the beginning of the paragraph, the topic is about how volunteering is beneficial for one's general health as it may include minor-to-moderate physical activity and reduces chronic pain and heart disease symptoms. Then, it explains that not all voluntary work may fulfill this need due to their sedentary nature, and how such should be combined with actual physical activity. From there, the paragraph goes on to say which are examples of everyday activities that can be turned into exercise, which completely diverts from the original idea.

Therefore, your best answer is The paragraph contains sentences that wander from the main topic.
