Question

Is this paragraph’s main idea stated or implied?

Every law starts with an idea. This idea may come from one of many places. Farm workers may wish to outlaw the spraying of poison on crops. The president’s office may wish to pay for ads about the dangers of drug use. A senator from Arizona may want to bring water to dry land. These ideas all come from different places. However, each idea must travel the same path before it can become a law.

Answer 1

The paragraph's main idea is stated in the first sentence:

Every law starts with an idea.

After this statement, the author writes supporting statements for the main idea. Then the author concludes by saying that these ideas must be able to travel a common path in order to turn into a law.

hope this helps ;)
