The writer wants to add an additional body paragraph to support the passage’s argument. Which of the following claims would make the best topic for such a paragraph

Long-term missions would also create social and psychological issues, such as extreme isolation and loneliness, that may have a negative impact on space travelers.

E. Long-term missions would also create social and psychological issues, such as extreme isolation and loneliness, that may have a negative impact on space travelers.

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. The writer supports the passage’s argument that long-term space travel is not likely to be viable or desirable in the near future by presenting reasoning and commentary in the body paragraphs pertaining to the negative effects space travel has on the physical well-being of humans—effects that are worsened the longer people spend in space. The best topic for an additional body paragraph among the choices provided is the one that addresses the negative consequences that long-term space travel would have on humans’ social and psychological well-being. This choice would provide additional support for the writer’s argument that there are too many serious concerns about long-term space travel for it to be viable in the near future.

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
