Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.

Read the rough-draft paragraph. exercising daily is one of the best ways to the body fight fatigue, illness, stress, and weight gain. whether taking a bike ride, enjoying a walk, or going for a swim, the type of activity is not as important as exercising consistently. often, people begin the new year with the resolution of exercising, but within a few months that commitment is quickly forgotten. the key is to choose something that is accessible, enjoyable, and affordable. exercising just thirty minutes a day not only strengthens the heart and lungs, but it also to boost one’s energy. another way to feel more energized is to eat a balanced diet. since no single food item can supply the body with everything it needs, it is important to eat a variety of foods. so to maintain a long, happy life, get out there and get moving, and enjoy a wide range of healthy meals. which statement best describes the mistake the writer makes in this paragraph?
