B.) I want to know how much time and effort is required.
C.) To require time and effort
D.) How much time/effort does it require?

Answer 1

Answer: D) How much time/effort does it require?

Step-by-step explanation: In the given thesis statement we can see an argument that supports the idea of the fact that moving from your family home after high school, can be difficult, and it list some of the things that must be considered when moving, like cooking, cleaning and paying bills. We can see that after each category, there is a list, and that each list follows a writing or grammatical style, the cleaning list consists in nouns that denote the things that must be cleaned, the bill-paying list consists in phrases that start with a verb in the "-ing" form, and the cooking list consists in questions, so the missing piece on the cooking list is "How much time/effort does it require?"

Answer 2

I. Cooking

A. How much does it cost?
B. __________
C. How healthy is it?

The missing piece of the outline is D.) How much time/effort does it require?

As you can observe, the choice follows the same format as the given two. It starts with the word How. This is to maintain cohesiveness in the outline.
