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? the paragraph has punctuation, grammatical, and spelling errors. the paragraph is choppy and in need of transitions. the paragraph lacks supporting details. the paragraph contains sentences that wander from the main topic.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
