The following excerpt from an argument features a counterclaim and a rebuttal. Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows:

Some argue that television is a good influence on teens. They say that educational broadcasts, historical programs, and news broadcasts help students learn about the world. Each of these options would certainly benefit teen viewers, but research shows that teens rarely watch them. A 2011 survey on TeenLife.com explored teen viewing habits. It showed that 93% of teen viewing hours were spent on comedies, teen or police dramas, and reality programs. Only two percent of teens admitted to watching news of any type, one percent listed historical programs, and zero percent named educational broadcasts.

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

Which sentence contains the main idea of the paragraph?
Now you can stop feeling guilty about that bite of chocolate you had for dessert. Chocolate has been found to be a cause of weight gain. But
chocolate does have some health benefits. However, don't reach for that chocolate cake just yet. Researchers found that only people who had
an average of one ounce of dark chocolate per day received the health benefit. Dark chocolate is full of flavonoids, which can help prevent
diseases. Flavonoids have been found to decrease cholesterol and reduce the blood clots that cause strokes. Flavonoids also boost a natural
chemical in your brain called serotonin. Low serotonin can cause depression. That's probably why eating chocolate boosts mood and feelings
of well-being.
