Main idea

  The main idea of a paragraph is what all the sentences are about. Read the paragraph and ask, “What's your point?” That will help you zero in on the main idea.

  Read each paragraph carefully. Choose the best answer to the following questions.

  1.John loves to play games. His favorite game is chess because it requires a great deal of thought. John also likes to play less demanding board games that are based mostly on luck. He prefers Monopoly because it requires luck and skill. If he's alone, John likes to play action video games as long as they aren't too violent.

  2.Maria is watching too much television. A toddler shouldn't be spending hours staring blankly at a screen. Worse yet, some of her wild behavior has been inspired by those awful cartoons she watches. We need to spend more time reading books with her and pull the plug on the TV!

  3.Samantha, I can't eat or sleep when you are gone. I need to hear your scratchy voice and see your lovely toothless smile. I miss that special way that you eat soup with your fingers. Please come home soon!

  4.Someday we will all have robots that will be our personal servants. They will look and behave much like real humans. We will be able to talk to these mechanical helpers and they will be able to respond in kind. Amazingly, the robots of the future will be able to learn from experience.
