Chооse the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа оf each of the following paragraph. 1Are men also victims of domestic violence? 2Some women do abuse and even kill their partners. 3Approximately 12 percent of men reported that their wives had engaged in physically aggressive behavior against them in the past year—nearly the same percentage of claims reported by women. 4The difference between male and female batterers is twofold. 5First, although their frequency may be similar, their impact is drastically different: women are typically injured in domestic incidents two to three times more often than are men. 6These injuries tend to be more severe and result in significantly more deaths. 7Women do engage in moderate aggression, such as pushing and shoving, at rates almost equal to those of men. 8But severe aggression that is likely to land a victim in the hospital is almost always male against female. 9Second, a woman who is physically abused by a man is generally intimidated by him; she fears that he will use his power and control over her in some fashion. 10Men, however, generally report that they do not live in fear of their wives.

Reаd the fоllоwing pаrаgraph and then select the statement that best expresses the implied main idea. (Please chоose the correct letter only. Do not write the entire sentence, only the letter. Capitalize the letter). “Taking all things together, how would you say things are these days—would you say you are very happy, pretty happy, or not too happy?” When this question was first asked in a psychological survey in 1957, more than one person in three described themselves as being “very happy;” one in ten where “not too happy.” The remaining 54 percent thought they were “pretty happy.” But by 1972, only one in four people selected “very happy.” This has happened despite the tremendous growth in wealth between 1957 and 1972, and the rise in the standard of living. —From G.
