Question

Which of the following lines numbers reveal the main idea in the following argument: (1) Michael

Jordan is no match for LeBron James. Jordan's teams were loaded with all star players. (2) He won
six championships as a result of his team, not his skills alone. LeBron doesn't have nearly as much
help, as far as amazing teammates go. (3) There's no doubt Jordan was incredible, but LeBron has
more points scored per game, as an individual player (the most LeBron has scored- 57.7, vs. Jordan
scoring 55.3). (4) LeBron is the new all-star.
A. Sentence 1
B. Sentence 3
OC. Sentence 2
D. Sentence 4

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence 1 provides the argument without too much detail. Sentences 2 and 3 provide supporting facts, but not the main idea. Sentence 4 is making a statement off of the argument and supporting details, and is at the end.

This is also a tip for most articles/texts: The first sentence of a paragraph is usually the main idea.

Hope this helps!
