Which phrase denotes inquiries guiding the identification of main ideas?

Questions for Main Idea Summary Bullying Social Issues

Correct Answer:

Questions for Main Idea

Explanation:

Using guiding prompts to find the main idea is the key idea here. These prompts are called Questions for Main Idea. They focus your attention on what the passage is mainly about, what point the author is making, and how the supporting details fit around that central message. By working through these questions, you can condense the text into a single, clear statement of the main idea and keep the rest of the details in perspective. The other options describe a product or topics rather than the method for locating the main idea: a summary is a brief restatement of key points, while bullying and social issues are specific subjects rather than the tool used to identify the central message.
