Worksheet for practicing concluding sentences with topic sentence matching exercises.

Problem Analysis:

The task involves matching each behavior with the time-concluding statement provided in the "Time Concluding Statements" section. The goal is to determine which behavior corresponds to each concluding statement based on logical reasoning and context.

Time Concluding Statements:

1. Admitting election loss is a big responsibility.
2. Selling your house is a major decision and deserves respect.
3. It is impossible for parents to be good parents unless they have done these things.
4. Borrowers and lenders must help each other out when one of them is having trouble.
5. You can't expect someone to do something that you yourself are not willing to do.
6. If you want to succeed, you need to work hard.

Behaviors:

- A family who has a baby together, works together.
- If you don't vote, it's even worse if you don't even know who you voted for.
- For all borrowers, remember that no father ever borrowed his children. Only money, really.
- Of the two, I'd rather see a family together than a man and a woman playing tennis.
- If it's easy to do, then it's easy to stop doing it.

Solution:

We will match each behavior to the appropriate time-concluding statement by analyzing the context and logical connection.

#### 1. Admitting election loss is a big responsibility.
- Behavior: If you don't vote, it's even worse if you don't even know who you voted for.
- Explanation: This behavior relates to elections and voting. Not voting or being unaware of who you voted for reflects a lack of responsibility in the electoral process, which connects to the idea of admitting election loss as a responsibility.

#### 2. Selling your house is a major decision and deserves respect.
- Behavior: A family who has a baby together, works together.
- Explanation: Selling a house is a significant life decision, similar to starting a family. Both require commitment and teamwork, which aligns with the idea of a family working together after having a baby.

#### 3. It is impossible for parents to be good parents unless they have done these things.
- Behavior: For all borrowers, remember that no father ever borrowed his children. Only money, really.
- Explanation: This behavior directly addresses parenting and the responsibilities of being a parent. It emphasizes that children are not "borrowed" but are a lifelong commitment, which ties into the idea of being a good parent.

#### 4. Borrowers and lenders must help each other out when one of them is having trouble.
- Behavior: Of the two, I'd rather see a family together than a man and a woman playing tennis.
- Explanation: This behavior highlights the importance of family over individual pursuits (like playing tennis). Similarly, the concluding statement emphasizes mutual support between borrowers and lenders, reflecting a sense of community and cooperation.

#### 5. You can't expect someone to do something that you yourself are not willing to do.
- Behavior: If it's easy to do, then it's easy to stop doing it.
- Explanation: This behavior suggests a principle of consistency and fairness. If something is easy to do, it should also be easy to stop, reflecting the idea that one cannot expect others to do something they themselves are unwilling to do.

#### 6. If you want to succeed, you need to work hard.
- Behavior: If you want to succeed, you need to work hard.
- Explanation: This behavior directly matches the concluding statement. It reiterates the idea that success requires effort and dedication.
