Question

question 5 of 5
who is the most famous person youve ever met? an actor? a
politician? well, for 20 - year - old jessica sayles, the answer to that
question is a difficult one. sayles has met over 500 celebrities in her
lifetime, and she has the photos to prove it. sayles lives in hollywood,
california, where celebrity sightings are fairly common. when she was
younger, she would ask for autographs. now, she carries a cell phone
and snaps pictures instead. since she started working as a waitress at
a popular restaurant, jessica has captured about three celebrity
pictures per week.
which detail best supports the passages central idea?
a. jessica is 20 years old.
b. jessica takes around three celebrity photos a week.
c. politicians are famous people.
d. working in a restaurant is a good way to meet celebrities.

Explanation:

The central idea of the passage is that Jessica Sayles has met many celebrities. Option B provides a specific detail (taking around three celebrity photos a week) that supports the idea of her having frequent interactions with celebrities. Option A (age) is just a personal detail not directly related to meeting celebrities. Option C is a general statement about politicians and not specific to Jessica. Option D is an assumption not directly supported by the text as strongly as Option B which gives a quantifiable measure related to her celebrity - interaction (through photos).

Answer:

B. Jessica takes around three celebrity photos a week.
