There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after

they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
It took humans a long time to develop the match.
Learning how to make fire was a long struggle for humans.
The world went for years without adequate fire.
We often forget how the match changed the world.
