It is estimated that over twenty million pounds of candy corn are sold in the US each year. Brach's, the top manufacturer, sells enough candy corn to circle the earth 4.25 times if each piece were laid end to end. That's a lot of candy corn, but that's nothing compared to the production of Tootsie Rolls. Over 64 million Tootsie Rolls are produced every day! But even Tootsie Rolls have got nothing on the candy industry's staple product: chocolate. Confectioners manufacture over twenty billion pounds of chocolate in the United States each year. Now that's a mouthful! What is the MAIN IDEA of this paragraph?
People all over the world eat chocolate.
There is a lot of candy sold in the United States each year.
More Tootsie Rolls are produced each year than candy corn.
More chocolate than Tootsie Rolls is produced each year.

The Greek word "deinos" means terrible, powerful, or wondrous. Combine this with the Greek word "sauros", which means lizard or reptile, and you might get "dinosaur", which refers to huge creatures that roamed the earth millions of years ago. The term "dinosauria" was coined, or first used, by English paleontologist Richard Owen in 1842, which was meant to express the idea that dinosaurs were "terrible reptiles" or "fearfully great lizards". Over the years, "dinosauria" gradually became "dinosaur", which is the word we use today to describe those giant beasts from the past. What is the main idea of the passage?
Richard Owen coined the term "dinosauria".
The word "dinosaur" is Greek.
The word "dinosaur" is the result of many changes over time.
We call giant reptiles dinosaurs.
