Question

Read the following passage:

The year is 2186. Humankind has taken to living
underground during a decades-long nuclear winter. There
is no government and no form of widespread
communication. Isolated pockets of individuals live in self-
sustaining shelters or caves, each group barely managing
to subsist.
Which statement best describes the main idea of this passage?
O
A. Government regulation of communication will lead to a fractured
society.
O
B. In any widespread nuclear conflict, no side can truly win.
O
C. Even if all other resources are eliminated, humans can survive
underground
O
D. No matter what disasters might occur, society will flourish.

Answer 1

A describe the best main idea in this passage

Answer 2

D because when looking at main idea, it is important to look big picture and seeing how government is only mentioned once, we can knock that one out. Again with Nuclear conflict, that isn’t big picture. The real question is whether C or D is correct because both are pretty broad. As in the case with the other two examples, D is more broad than C, thus making D correct
