Jameela is reading a magazine article. Read the following excerpt from the article:

Five days a week, Henry Zimmerman used to ride the elevator to the sixth floor and spend all day sitting at his computer. On weekends, he felt too tired to do more than watch TV. Most of the time he was anxious, and he was frustrated that his clothes were tight. In addition, his doctor informed him that he had high blood pressure, which could lead to heart trouble.
At his doctor’s advice, Henry began exercising. At work, he took the stairs instead of the elevator. During his lunch break, he went for a run. On weekends, he played pickup basketball at the park. Slowly, he gained energy, his anxiety decreased, and his clothes fit him better. At his next doctor’s appointment, he found out his blood pressure had decreased to a healthy number.

Which statement describes the relationship between the two paragraphs in this excerpt?
A. The first paragraph describes the first step in Henry’s lifestyle change, and the second paragraph presents the next step.
B. The first paragraph describes the cause of Henry’s inactive lifestyle, and the second paragraph explains the effect of the inactive lifestyle.
C. The first paragraph describes the problem—Henry’s inactive lifestyle—and the second paragraph suggests how an active lifestyle might solve Henry’s problem.
D. The first paragraph describes how Henry felt during his inactive lifestyle, and the second paragraph contrasts that experience with the experience of his active lifestyle.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.

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?
