First, let's restate the question and options to ground our analysis. The prompt asks: What is the main idea of paragraph 2? The answer choices are: 1) Why she chose to study abroad, 2) The projects she has worked on and her message to others, 3) Bel Pesce’s childhood hobbies, 4) Details about her personal life.

Option 1: Why she chose to study abroad. This choice focuses on motivations behind a single decision (studying abroad). In paragraph 2, the content shifts beyond the act of studying abroad and covers ongoing work, projects, and a broader message, so this option narrows too much and doesn’t capture the central thread of the paragraph.

Option 3: Bel Pesce’s childhood hobbies. A claim about childhood hobbies would be a biographical detail, but paragraph 2 emphasizes her later activities—projects, entrepreneurship, talks, and the message she promotes—rather than early-life hobbies. This makes the option misaligned with the main point.

Option 4: Details about her personal life. This is a broad category that could include family, relationships, or everyday trivia. Paragraph 2 concentrates on professional efforts and the impact of her message, not personal life details, so this option overreaches relative to the main idea.

Option 2: The projects she has worked on and her message to others. This choice aligns with the paragraph’s focus on what she has done professionally (projects, startups, mentoring, talks) and the overarching message she conveys about achieving goals. The recurring emphasis on innovation, education, and motivating others supports this as the central theme of the paragraph.

In evaluating these options, notice that the paragraph’s function is to present a concise view of her actions and the purpose behind them, rather than to explain motives for studying abroad, childhood pastimes, or incidental biographical details. The coherence lies in tying her activities to the inspirational message she promotes, which makes option 2 the best match for the main idea.

A few subtleties to keep in mind: misreading ascribe more emphasis to early life or single decisions can lead to misclassification, but the sequencing and content of paragraph 2 consistently foreground ongoing work and the message to others rather than isolated biographical facts or motivations for a past choice.

Overall, the analysis reveals that option 2 best captures the central thread of paragraph 2, while the other options introduce topics that are peripheral or not central to the stated focus of that paragraph.
