Paragraph of text:

'Sailing solo

On my most recent trips I have often been alone; if not I've usually got my project manager with me or my boyfriend. I've always preferred to sail alone. There is nobody there to bother you. You make the decisions. In the Southern Ocean you're never really alone. You nearly always see albatrosses or dolphins, which often stay with the boat for days.'

When you click on the text, the word 'solo' in the title and the word 'alone' in the paragraph highlight. Then the sentences with the word 'alone' in them highlight.

A text box appears with the explanation: The main idea or main point of this paragraph is that the writer prefers to sail on her own.
