Question

read the text.
sooner or later
why put off until tomorrow what you can do today? for procrastinators,
putting things off is the only way to work. for non - procrastinators,
meanwhile, waiting until the last minute is a terrible, stress - inducing
concept. why wait, when you could use your time to do things as well (and
as early) as possible?
we are all faced with chores, projects, and assignments that we dont want
to do. if a task is intimidating and the reward of finishing it is in the distant
future, we might be hit with the urge to procrastinate. procrastinators often
put off large tasks in favor of completing less - important, smaller tasks. this
what is the authors main claim or argument?
procrastination causes unnecessary stress and anxiety.
starting your work earlier than necessary has its benefits.
students should learn time - management skills in school.
putting off tasks can actually be a positive way to work.

Explanation:

The text emphasizes that procrastination (putting off tasks) is not ideal. It contrasts procrastinators (who put things off) with non - procrastinators (for whom waiting is stressful). It also mentions that when tasks are intimidating, people might procrastinate. The overall idea is against procrastination and in favor of using time well (doing things early). The second option "Starting your work earlier than necessary has its benefits" aligns with the text's message of not waiting and using time effectively. The first option about stress is only a part of the contrast (for non - procrastinators waiting is stressful), not the main claim. The third option about students in school is not mentioned. The fourth option goes against the text's stance as it says putting off tasks is positive while the text implies it's not (except for a description of procrastinators' behavior, but not as a positive way).

Answer:

Starting your work earlier than necessary has its benefits.
