Read the rough-draft paragraph. studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general physical health. depending on the needs of an organization, many volunteer opportunities can involve physical movement. volunteers at a local soup kitchen may, for example, find themselves unloading truckloads of donated supplies. other research related to volunteering and staying healthy found that volunteers often experienced decreased chronic pain and fewer symptoms of heart disease. of course, not all volunteer positions involve physical exertion. tasks involving minimal movement, such as answering phones, filing papers, and/or addressing envelopes, should be combined with some type of physical activity. using the stairs instead of an elevator or walking to work instead of driving are examples of easy ways to integrate exercise into a daily routine.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
