Chооse the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа оf the paragraph below. T-shirts can function as trophies (as proof of participation in sports or travel) or as self- proclaimed labels of belonging to a cultural category (“Super Bowl LII Attendee,” “Retired”). T-shirts can also be used as a means of self-expression, which may provide wearers with the additional benefit of serving as a “topic” to initiate social dialogue with others. However, although we might expect that a Las Vegas T-shirt would be worn by a person who has been to Las Vegas (or has received it as a gift from someone else who has visited Las Vegas), this is not necessarily so. In such a world of “virtual identities,” consumers can now just buy a Las Vegas T-shirt at a local retailer and create the impression that they have been there.

Chооse the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа оf the paragraph below. All of us have at one time or another been repelled by so-called agony commercials, which depict in graphic detail the internal and intestinal effects of heartburn, indigestion, clogged sinus cavities, hammer-induced headaches, and the like. Nevertheless, pharmaceutical companies often run such commercials with great success because they appeal to a certain segment of the population that suffers from ailments that are not visible and thus elicit little sympathy from family and friends. Their complaints are legitimized by commercials with which they immediately identify. With the sponsor’s credibility established (“They really understand the misery I’m going through”), the message itself tends to be highly persuasive in getting consumers to buy the advertised product.
