Read each paragraph and choose the letter of the main idea.
  When renting movies, a person can chose from many different formats. The easiest way to rent a
  movie is to use a Redbox machine, which are usually located in front of grocery stores. They
  have a wide variety of new releases that can be rented for one day. Another option when renting a
  movie is not as easy as Redbox, as it requires a high-speed internet connection, is the use Apple
  iTunes. This allows a purchasable legal download of any movie available for rent in the iTunes
  library. Another popular option is Netflix. This requires the renter to first have an account, but
  also plan ahead which movie would like to watch. Once a movie is chosen, the renter must wait
  for the movie to be sent in the mail.
  Main Idea:
 
  a. iTunes requires a high-speed internet connection.
  b. Netflix requires an account.
  c. Redbox is located at grocery stores.
  d. There are many different options when renting a movie.

Question 2

Read each paragraph and choose the letter of the main idea.
  Emergency medical services in many cities have begun advising 911 callers to give a person who
  has collapsed chest compressions but not mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In emergencies, lives
  are generally saved or lost in the first six minutes, so trying to explain mouth-to-mouth
  procedures to callers was wasting precious time and doing more harm than good. In addition, new
  research suggests that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is not effective in the first few minutes after
  a collapse. Therefore, emergency medical dispatchers are explaining to untrained callers only
  how to perform chest compressions to mimic2
  a steady heartbeat until paramedics can arrive.
  Adapted from Robert Davis, Simpler Method for CPR Adopted, USA Today, February 24, 2004, 1A.
  Main Idea:
 
  a. Many emergency medical services dispatchers are no longer explaining to callers
  how to give a victim mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
  b. Emergency medical services are advising people not to try to save someone who
  has collapsed.
  c. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is very difficult to perform properly.
  d. Research has shown that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation does more harm than
  good.
