Read the paragraph: 'Great Salt Lake is one of the most unique body of water in North America. Because it has no outlet rivers to the ocean, minerals and salt accumulate over time as water evaporates. As a result, the lake is far saltier than the ocean, allowing brine shrimp and alkali flies to thrive while keeping most fish from living in its waters.' What is the main idea of this paragraph?

Brine shrimp are the only creatures that live in Utah rivers. Great Salt Lake is extremely salty because water evaporates without an outlet, creating a unique habitat. Water from the ocean flows directly into Great Salt Lake every spring. Fish thrive in Great Salt Lake due to high salt levels.

Correct Answer:

Great Salt Lake is extremely salty because water evaporates without an outlet, creating a unique habitat.
