Choose the main idea.

The piano as we know it today is roughly the same as it always has been. A piano is actually a string instrument, though it’s played by striking keys attached to the strings. The first piano, known as a clavichord, was a version of a harp turned on its side and enclosed in a small box. You can still see examples of a clavichord, which looks like an oblong box with a keyboard running nearly the length of one long side. A clavichord would fit on your lap, while a modern piano is much larger. Since about 1450, keyboards have remained the same, except that the placement of the black and white keys was reversed. But with that single exception, there are representations of pianos as they look today dating back to the fourteenth century. The instrument works so well that there has been little reason to modify it over time.

• The piano has not changed much over time.

• The piano was known as the clavichord.

• The piano is cool to play.

• The piano has black and white keys.

What is the main idea of the following paragraph?

Sharks can lose up to 30,000 teeth in their lifetime. Sharks have teeth arranged in rows inside their mouths. These teeth do not have roots like human teeth do, so they fall out easily. When a shark takes a powerful bite into its food, several teeth are lost. When these teeth are lost, new ones push forward from the back rows to replace them. Luckily, sharks continually grow new teeth to replace the thousands they lose.

• Sharks lose many teeth over the course of their lifetime

• Shark teeth are very different from human teeth

• Sharks are carnivorous predators
