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.

A. The writer makes punctuation and/or grammatical errors
B. The writer misuses transitions to connect ideas and thoughts.
C. The writer loses shift to another topic.
D. The writer forgets to include supporting details.

Answer 1

I think the answer is C.

Answer 2

Option C. The following is the statement that best describes the mistake the writer makes in the paragraph:

The writer loses shift to another topic.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the paragraph the writer makes the mistake of shifting to another topic without properly linking it with the first topic being discussed which makes the shift to appear abruptly. Instead of giving more details and additional information about the first topic being discussed, which was the importance of exercising regularly, the author suddenly starts discussing the importance of a balance and healthy diet. Although the two concepts can be put together in a paragraph because they are interconnected, the author did not connect them in a proper and logical manner.
