Why is reading a "positive escape"? in what ways is reading positive?

Speaking from experience & research;

Reading not only boosts your brainpower, but also has other side-effects. First and foremost, it is the number 1 positive escape, it relaxes you, passes time, and gives you an overwhelming sense of joy! (depending on the type of reader). Drugs are a negative escape, reading is a positive escape; that is where it comes from. Reading is said to "increase intelligence", but that's only if you read non-fiction (I'm a fiction book worm), but reading any book can boost your memory.

Have a nice day!

(i can't select because there is no options but, i will answer) using evidence effectively. most of the assignments you will do in university will ask you to make an argument, to take a stance, or to prove a hypothesis. the best way to do this is to research the topic, develop a thesis statement, hypothesis, or claim and then use evidence to support this claim.

the answer is academic paper

and the second should be college professor
