One of these groups is a paragraph. One is not. For the group that is a paragraph, write the main idea. For the group that is not explain why.
1. During periods of warm weather, many people wished they owned a motorcycle. Of course, it is precisely at such times that most motorcycle owners do want to sell. Therefore it makes more sense to buy a motorcycle during the winter. The prices of used motorcycles are lower then, and there are more vehicles for sale. In addition it is most sensible to to shop by searching through the classified ads, and last winter I found a part-time job there, too.
2. The United States is a nation of watchers. Of the sixty-million homes in the United States, ninety-five percent have television sets. The average television set is turned on five and three-quarters hours per day. An American child can expect to view enough television to total 3000 days, or nine years of his or her life. On a winter evening, half of all Americans are at home in front of their television sets. Television watching seems to be a national addiction.
