Choose the letter of the sentence that best expresses the implied main idea of the following paragraph. A puddle of dark liquid under a car indicates a leak in the oil or transmission fluid.  Another warning sign of car trouble is uneven wear on tire treads.  If the outer edge of the tire tread wears out before the center, the tire is under-inflated.  The most significant early warning signal, however, is less and less mileage per gallon.  Lower fuel economy is caused by a variety of problems ranging from a clogged filter to ignition or carburetor trouble.

Choose the letter of the sentence that best expresses the implied main idea of the following paragraph. In the late 1980s, concern about the deadly effects of illegal drugs became a top national issue.  Politicians loudly proclaimed a “war on drugs,” and TV news shows carried regular reports about the fatal toll of drugs, especially “crack” cocaine.  These drugs do have a terrible effect on individuals and society, but the facts about them are somewhat different from their popular image.  Each year, about two thousand people due from heroin overdoses, and about three thousand die from cocaine-related causes.  At the same time, 50, 000 people die every year because of alcohol—including thousands of innocent victims of drunk drivers.  Additionally, a third of a million people die every year from cancer due to smoking cigarettes.

The following selection has a main idea that may appear at any place within the paragraph.  Identify the main idea of the paragraph by choosing the number of the sentence. The number of each sentence comes before it. 1 Baseball enthusiasts hold softball in low esteem.  2 It’s a picnic game, they argue, with a big, soft ball, shorter base paths, and a pitcher who throws underhand.  3 Yet fast-pitch softball can be as intense and dramatic as any baseball game—perhaps more so.  4 True, the base paths are shorter, but ask any third baseman how quickly a well-hit groundball reaches him on softball’s smaller diamond.  5 True, the pitcher throws underhand, but he stands fifteen feet closer to the plate, and he might hit speeds exceeding eighty miles per hour.  6 True, the ball is softer than a baseball, but catch a hard one in the ribs just once, and such knowledge is small comfort.
