Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows.

[1] being a good reader is somewhat like driving a car; both reader and driver must learn to shift gears skillfully. [2] just as road conditions that require slow, careful driving call for first gear, a difficult text requires slow, thoughtful reading to be understood and remembered. [3] similarly, the driver can shift to second gear if he wants to go slightly faster. [4] second gear is useful to a reader of textual material which is not difficult but which must be remembered. on the open road a driver shifts to third. [5] third gear in reading is used for pleasure reading of magazines or novels. [6] both reader and driver sometimes use passing gear. [7] this gear is particularly useful to a reader who wants to skim a chapter as a review for a test or to preview an article to determine whether he wishes to read it. [8] just as driving in first gear at all times is inappropriate and inefficient, reading speeds must be shifted to suit conditions.
what is the topic sentence? 1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or none

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
