Explanation:

Question 6

To determine the main idea of a passage, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes the author's purpose (why written), not the main idea.
• The second option: A main idea is a broad statement that summarizes most or all ideas in a passage, which matches the definition.
• The third option refers to the author's tone/attitude, not the main idea.
• The fourth option is a detail (narrow), not the main idea.

The SQ3R reading system is a well - known reading strategy. The correct breakdown of SQ3R is Survey (preview the text), Question (form questions about the text), Read (read the text), Recite (summarize what was read), and Review (go over the material).

• The first option has incorrect terms ("three", "realize").
• The second option has incorrect terms ("quote", "revise").
• The third option (Survey, question, read, recite, review) is the correct breakdown.
• The fourth option has an incorrect order and terms ("Scan" instead of "Survey", wrong order of "recite" and "read").

Answer:

B. A broad statement that sums up all or most of the ideas in a passage
