Question 602 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

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.

Answer
A
The paragraph has punctuation, grammatical, and spelling errors.
B
The paragraph is choppy and in need of transitions.
C
The paragraph lacks supporting details.
D
The paragraph contains sentences that wander from the main topic.

Explanation

The paragraph’s main topic is how volunteering can benefit physical health. The examples of using stairs or walking to work explain ways to add exercise to a daily routine, but they are not specifically about volunteering, so they wander from the paragraph’s focus. The other sentences provide relevant support, and the paragraph is generally clear and grammatical.
