Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Often the central idea is not explicitly stated, and the reader must infer it. An inference means that the reader must find meaning from the passage's context.

Typically, finding the central idea is a skill used when working with non-fiction texts. Long works of fiction such as a novel are not likely to have a main idea because interpretations of them can be subjective. Key characteristics of the central idea include the topic and a connection to multiple important details in the text.

So in other words, you need to find out what it's about, and the main idea. The point the author is trying to get acrossed, or by looking at the texts as well

Answer 2

Answer:Finding the main idea

at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage.

in the concluding sentences of a paragraph. The main idea can be expressed as a summation of the information in the paragraph as well as a link to the information in the next paragraph.
