Question

1. which word or phrase best completes the sentence below? you can analyze a text that explains or describes something by looking for ______ and details, facts, or examples. (1 point) key motivations main ideas support opinions

Explanation:

To complete the sentence about analyzing a descriptive or explanatory text, we need a term that pairs logically with "details, facts, or examples". When analyzing such texts, we first identify the "main ideas" (the overarching concepts) and then look at supporting details, facts, or examples. "Key motivations" focus on reasons behind actions, not text analysis structure. "Support" is what details provide, not what we look for alongside them. "Opinions" are subjective and not the core of explanatory/descriptive text analysis (which focuses on objective content like facts and examples). So "main ideas" fits best.

Answer:

B. main ideas
