Question

Read the rough-draft paragraph.

Exercising daily is one of the best ways to help the body fight fatigue, illness, stress, and weight gain. Whether taking a bike ride, enjoying a walk, or going for a swim, the type of activity is not as important as exercising consistently. Often, people begin the new year with the resolution of exercising, but within a few months that commitment is quickly forgotten. The key is to choose something that is accessible, enjoyable, and affordable. Exercising just thirty minutes a day not only strengthens the heart and lungs, but it also helps to boost one’s energy. Another way to feel more energized is to eat a balanced diet. Since no single food item can supply the body with everything it needs, it is important to eat a variety of foods. So to maintain a long, happy life, get out there and get moving, and enjoy a wide range of healthy meals.

Answer 2

The statement which best describes the mistake the writer makes in the paragraph is the following one:

The writer loses focus and shifts to another topic.

He starts off by pointing out the overall benefits of exercising, and supports his idea by also giving examples of activities people should engage in. However, focus is lost when the writer begins to address the importance of a balanced diet to the body. That would require a new paragraph.
