Question

Evaluate the relationship between a main idea and supporting details. Give an example from the text.

Answer 1

The main idea is the "key concept" being expressed. Details, major and minor, support the main idea by telling how, what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. Locating the topic, main idea, and supporting details helps you understand the point(s) the writer is attempting to express.

Answer 2

well, i don't have a text to give an example from. but here's a try:

A main idea is the overall subject of a piece of text. it's the thesis statement or general statement that the author is trying to convey. Supporting details are the evidence and proof of the main idea. they're used to help back up the general statement of the text.
