____________________________________________________. One effect of chronic anger is damage to physical health. Men who engage in frequent angry outbursts are three times more likely than men who keep their anger in check to develop cardiovascular disease. One study showed that the angriest young men are six times more likely to suffer heart attacks by age 55 . Another serious effect of chronic

anger is damage to relationships. Men who have a "short fuse" often take out their anger on their loved ones, which hurts those people and causes them to become resentful or emotionally withdrawn and sometimes even end the relationship. Yet another serious effect is a severe reduction in quality of life. When men cannot effectively manage their anger, they spend too much time feeling irritated, frustrated, and tense, leading to an overall sense of unhappiness about life. Select the letter of the topic sentence that is most accurate.

A) Some men have trouble managing their anger.
B) For men, chronic anger has three damaging effects.
C) Men who suffer from chronic anger can learn strategies to cope with their feelings.
