Questions: (1) A hypnotic trance is not therapeutic in and of itself, but specific suggestions and images fed to clients in a trance can profoundly alter their behavior. (2) As clients rehearse the new ways they want to think and feel, they lay the groundwork for powerful changes in their future actions. (3) For example, in hypnosis, I often tell people who are trying to quit smoking that they will go for hours without even thinking of a cigarette, that if they should light up, the cigarette will taste terrible and they'll want to put it out immediately. (4) I'll talk them through the imagery of being a nonsmoker-some combination of finding themselves breathing easier, having more energy for exercise, enjoying subtle tastes and smells again, having fresh breath and clean-smelling clothing, feeling good about their health, even saving money on cigarettes or whatever motivates that person to quit. (5) The deep relaxation of a hypnotic trance is also broadly beneficial as many illnesses, both psychological and physical, are aggravated by anxiety and muscle tension.

To determine which sentences in a passage are major details, we need to identify the sentences that provide significant information supporting the main idea or topic of the passage. However, since the passage itself is not provided here, I cannot directly analyze the sentences to determine which ones are major details.

If you have the passage, you can look for sentences that offer key information, examples, or explanations that directly support the main idea. These are typically considered major details. If you can provide the passage or more context, I would be able to assist you further.
