Zachary has been trying to work on an essay for almost three hours, but he can't seem to focus for more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time. what should he do so that the quality of his work doesn't suffer because of poor concentration and lack of energy?

a-push through his mental block and keep going until he finishes his essay
b-put the essay away and don't work on it for a few days
c-turn on the tv so that it'll wake him up enough to finish his essay
d-finish what he's working on and then stop so he can start fresh tomorrow

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
