Directions: Select TRUE for any item that could be used as a main idea sentence. Do not base your decision on whether an item has a period at the end of it. There are periods after all of the items, but not all of them would work as main idea sentences.

Examples:
True___Online courses are very convenient. Yes, because it is a sentence and makes sense by itself.
_______Sleep. No, because it is not a sentence.

Number 2:

Answer:

1. Most of them do not work. False, it does not make sense on its own so, extra information is needed.

2. A mnemonic device is used to aid in remembering. True. Because it is stating the uses of a mnemonic device, also the sentence can stand on its own.

3. Whether the new schedule will work False, the sentence can not stand on its own.

4. Every hour 70 new blogs are created. True. There is specific information that can be the main idea of a text, and it stands on its own.

5. The public should vote against this plan. False, because we do not know what plan is the sentence referring to.

6. How working too many hours affects college students’ success. False, it is not specifying the type of success that is affected by working too many hours.

8. Sleep well. False, it is not a sentence.

9. There are differences in male and female brains True. It is a sentence that can stand on its own.

10. She could run as fast as a racing car. True. Because it is a sentence that can stand on its own, and it gives information that can be the main idea of a text.

Number 2:

01. What is the topic of this passage?

Option D. Ways to save money.

02. What is the topic sentence?

B. When trying to save money, you need to know about your options.    

Explanation:

The items that we can use as main ideas are the ones that are complete sentences, and that makes sense on its own. That is to say, that they do not need extra information so that the reader can understand what the sentence is telling.

In the activity number 2, the topic is ways to save money because it describes the different strategies to save money such as saving accounts, money market accounts, or certificates of deposit.

The topic sentence is option B because it is the one that summarises what the text is saying. The paragraph mentions the other options as ways that a person can have to save money.

Excerpt from The Raven
By Brothers Grimm

Looking out from his hut one day he saw three robbers fighting and he called out to them. They stopped when they heard the call, but looking round and seeing nobody, they went on again with their fighting, which now became more furious. He cried out again, and again they paused and looked about, but seeing no one went back to their fighting. A third time he called out, and then thinking he should like to know the cause of dispute between the three men, he went out and asked them why they were fighting so angrily with one another. One of them said that he had found a stick, and that he had but to strike it against any door through which he wished to pass, and it immediately flew open. Another told him that he had found a cloak which rendered its wearer invisible; and the third had caught a horse which would carry its rider over any obstacle, and even up the glass mountain. They had been unable to decide whether they would keep together and have the things in common, or whether they would separate. On hearing this, the man said, ‘I will give you something in exchange for those three things; not money, for that I have not got, but something that is of far more value. I must first, however, prove whether all you have told me about your three things is true.’ The robbers, therefore, made him get on the horse, and handed him the stick and the cloak, and when he had put this round him he was no longer visible. Then he fell upon them with the stick and beat them one after another, crying, ‘There, you idle vagabonds, you have got what you deserve; are you satisfied now!’ After this he rode up the glass mountain.

Introducing them to my friends was a further trial to me. These relatives had
such complicated names and there were so many of them, and their relationships to myself were so convoluted. There was my Tía Josefina, who was not really an aunt but a much older cousin. And her daughter, Aida Margarita, who was adopted, una hija de crianza. My uncle of affection, Tío José, brought my madrina Tía Amelia and her comadre Tía Pilar. My friends rarely had more than a “Mom and Dad” to introduce.

Read this excerpt from "A Drop in the Bucket." In one of the Smithsonian’s curation rooms, she carefully places "Diane France's brain" on a table and props it up around the edges with clay. But the clay doesn't stick to the table, and the brain loses its shape. That's no good. Next, she tries putting the brain in a pan and smooshes clay around the inside edge of the container. Still no good. Finally, after more trial and error, Diane grabs a stainless steel bowl—just like the one in her kitchen—and presses clay in a ring around the curved bottom. She adds a layer of formalin-soaked paper towels to keep the bottom of the brain damp. Then, she carefully nestles the brain in the ring. It works! The brain holds its shape as she coats the top with a liquid form of silicone rubber. The rubber hardens to make one-half of a mold. Which detail from the excerpt identifies a problem? “But the clay doesn’t stick to the table, and the brain loses its shape.” “Next, she tries putting the brain in a pan and smooshes clay around the inside edge.” “She adds a layer of formalin-soaked paper towels to keep the bottom of the brain damp.” “Finally, after more trial and error, Diane grabs a stainless steel bowl.”
