Read the introduction below. Find and highlight the hook. What hook did the writer use? It's a cultural assumption to simply think that bigger is better, but is that always
the case? Sixty-eight ounces of Coco-Cola with that combo meal is really better
than twelve? Perhaps super-sizing it is not always the best way. Larger vehicles
typically incur greater operating costs for fuel, tires and insurance. A bigger
house draws more funds out of the bank account to heat it in the winter and
cool it in the summer compared to a more affordable and modest dwelling. Big
cities have greater problems with traffic and crime. Perhaps the job with the
smaller company would offer more opportunities. Americans would do well to
reconsider the assumption that bigger is better. For many students who are new
to higher education and who aren't getting a free ride, attending a small
community college can lead to tangible advantages. Indeed, there are significant
differences between starting the higher education journey at a community
college and beginning at a large state university, and those include cost
considerations, and the quality of the learning atmosphere.
