what is the main idea of this text?
a kayla, brian, and alex don’t know how to scare off the bear that they see on the mountain, so brian decides to run ahead and find help, while kayla and alex hide on the mountainside.

b kayla’s dad, mr. wilson, tries to trick brian, alex, and kayla into making a wrong turn as they try to run and catch him before he can destroy the deed to lee’s mountain.

c as kayla, brian, and alex run to find the deed to lee’s mountain, they stop at town hall before making their way to the wilson mansion, where they find mr. wilson...and no deed.

d kayla and brian aren’t sure how to stop mr. wilson from destroying the lee’s mountain deed, but alex decides to call his mom, who gives him instructions on how to protect the document.

Explanation:

To determine the main idea, we analyze each option:

• Option A focuses on a bear - scaring incident and hiding, which seems like a sub - plot or a minor event.
• Option B describes Kayla's dad trying to trick the kids and their attempt to stop him from destroying the deed. This seems to be the central conflict and the main event driving the story.
• Option C is about their journey to find the deed and a stop at Town Hall, which is part of the process but not the main idea.
• Option D is about their uncertainty and Alex's call for help, which is a later development and not the core main idea.

Answer:

B. Kayla's dad, Mr. Wilson, tries to trick Brian, Alex, and Kayla into making a wrong turn as they try to run and catch him before he can destroy the deed to Lee's Mountain.
