Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: The authors argument is that volunteering helps many people, not just those being directly benefited in visible ways. The author uses statistics from a study to support his/her argument.

    An argument stated is, “Some would argue that volunteering adds significant stress to already hectic lives.” Yet, the author gives statements supporting why that argument is indeed false. The author wrote, “Interestingly, studies show that volunteering actually helps reduce stress, because individuals who volunteer report feeling a greater sense of purpose and self-worth.” Although, pretty much all of the authors writing is pretty accurate and persuasive. The author gives good clarifications onto why volunteering is good. Therefore, I say this is a well written argumentative essay.
