Answer:  (7) It appears that tremendous numbers of consumers are influenced by advertising, despite their claims to the contrary.

Explanation:

The main idea of this passage is that advertising works despite people's claims to the contrary.

This is the main idea because every other sentence centres around this one with the first sentence attempting to explain how it works.

The second sentence then attempts to disprove it while the third, fourth, fifth and the sixth show show evidence of its truthfulness.

  • Fossil fuels are a great source of energy because they originate from living things. Plants and trees use sunlight to make food from carbon dioxide and water, using the process called photosynthesis. The energy from the sun gets stored in the plants and transferred to any animal that eats the plants.
