Read this passage: mom, i know i broke the rules and you took my phone away, but i can't survive without it. my friends are upset that i am not texting them back. i am not able to check my websites. i am so bored without my music and games. i apologize for what i did. what is the main idea of the passage? i know i broke the rules. i want my phone back. i am so bored. i apologize for what i did.
A is the answer your looking for a main idea can be at the start of a paragraph
B- I want my phone back( I just took the test and got this one right)good luck
The main idea is I want my phone back
The reason the author wrote this passage is to persuade the reader to give them their phone back.
They do apologize, but the passage isn't all about an apology or what they did, it's mainly about their phone.
They are bored and they do know they broke the rules but neither of those are the main idea.
The answer is B. I want my phone back.
It would be B because the paragraph is asking for their phone back.
I want my phone back, i hope this helps, thanks
