SAT English Practice Question

When faced with a problem, most people will try to find a solution. But some people, when faced with a problem, will simply avoid it. While avoidance can seem like a weak response, it can sometimes be a sign of wisdom. If someone is trying to avoid a problem, it may be because they know that they don’t have the power to fix it, or it may be because they are trying to conserve their energy for a more important task.
