Answer the multiple-choice question about main idea based on the content of the paragraph below.

In the broadest sense, anything that promotes your business might be considered advertising. Newspapers are an inexpensive way to reach a mass audience. They are flexible and good for price advertising. Magazines offer a slightly better opportunity to catch a reader’s attention than newspapers do, but they typically cost more. Magazines are good for promoting your company’s image and building its credibility. Radio is a relatively low-cost, high-impact choice for local advertising. It is one of the best ways to reach a targeted market, but costs are slightly higher than for print ads. Repetition is especially important in radio advertising. Television advertising is extremely high-impact, but it is expensive to buy spots on major networks. Cable channels that will air your ad in select markets are more affordable. Yellow Pages advertising is not cheap, but it delivers hot prospects—people who are ready to buy. It is a good choice for local and area-specific businesses.

The passage is primarily concerned with

a. several types of advertising, each with its own advantages.
b. anything that might promote your business.
c. the advantages of television advertising.


a. several types of advertising, each with its own advantages.
