Read the following paragraph and choose the TWO sentences that interrupt the focus of the paragraph.

Sam was so excited about his new car. His dad had helped him buy it right before his sixteenth birthday. Not only was it new and in great condition, but they had bought it from an acquaintance for a really good price. Trucks do not get good gas mileage and may be very expensive to own. Today was the day that he was going to get to drive it by himself! After listening to the "be careful and drive safely" speech that his dad gave him, Sam excitedly jumped into his car, ready to cruise the roads. Teenagers have more accidents because they are not as experienced as other drivers on the road. Finally, he was free!
