in our lives we can make a conscious effort to
- 00:56
change our behavior in response Okay All right Good enough
- 01:00
let's Just go to the first question here and think
- 01:02
you don't usually costs extra in context Which of the
- 01:05
following could provide additional support for the thesis of the
- 01:09
passage if inserted after sentence once Okay so we got
- 01:15
sense one right there If there is one aspect Of
- 01:18
life that affects all of us it's stressed and then
- 01:21
they go on to safe stress can also have a
- 01:23
negative financial effect So what would you add after one
- 01:27
to make that person more powerful Well let's think about
- 01:31
this Oh yeah thesis has fallen and it can't get
- 01:35
up without proper support claims Well they just seem to
- 01:39
wilt like that essay begins with a nice introduction but
- 01:43
the paragraph in general is really weak It needs some
- 01:46
beefing up by inserting a sense that explains the problems
- 01:50
related distress while we can add some muscle to this
- 01:54
flimsy paragraph So this one right here d does the
- 01:58
trick Stress can lead to a wide variety of health
- 02:00
conditions including headaches sleep problems uncharacteristic anger anxiety and even
- 02:05
depression see that way they're throwing in all these images
- 02:08
and things that you know and can relate teo and
- 02:10
probably school on that kind of beef it up and
- 02:14
make it more powerful Then it flows naturally so that
- 02:17
sentence to gives the you know kind of counter stuff
- 02:20
It can also have negative financial effect on top of
- 02:23
everything else That's a vicious cycle the others don't Work
- 02:27
well what we don't need is a wimpy generalization that
- 02:30
doesn't pack enough info to get us going to get
- 02:32
rid of a And we also don't need information that
- 02:34
goes off topic and start spouting off some sci fi
- 02:37
stuff about stress that it's not really proven here So
- 02:41
be get rid of And finally a mediocre choice would
- 02:43
be adding mohr tow what's already been said and sense
- 02:47
One c just adds kind of more uh and we
- 02:50
don't really want to just be average We want to
- 02:52
pump up this paragraph you know like that So he
- 02:55
is the answer and that said we're not going to 00:02:57.458 --> [endTime] stress about being from up here Oh
