Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.[1] However, the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.

3.What is the difference between general book and reference book?
   : Book reports and essays have more differences than similarities. Book reports cover the whole book. Essays focus on a particular aspect, be it a theme, tone, character, or scene from the book. Essays reference moments from the book directly, using quotes, to make their arguments. Book reports only give general plot points. Book reports may offer personal opinions, whereas essays usually give facts.
