Answer 2

Use your list of details to identify the main idea of the article.

ANSWER: Option (e)

EXPLANATION:

Ascertaining the "main (key) idea of an article" is a vital reading skill. The main idea of any article is the key concept or point which the writer wants to convey to the readers with regard to the topic. It is quite easy to ascertain the main idea that is directly conveyed in an article.

Main ideas are usually found at the start of paragraphs in an article. The first sentence usually elucidates the subject being considered in that paragraph/passage. The main ideas can be found in the closing sentences of an article’s paragraph, as well.
