The central idea that is best supported by the details in the excerpt is:

  • As more people began to own clocks, society embraced standardized time.

<h3>What is the central idea?</h3>

The central idea of this passage is that British society slowly absorbed timekeeping and in no time, it became a standard way of time of measuring time.

The natural cycles of the day were now abandoned. Option C captures this point.

Complete Question/Excerpt:

Read the excerpt from "Benin Plaque: The Oba with Europeans."

These were enormous and belief-shattering ideas for many people in the nineteenth century, but time was also changing in a much more day-to-day, or rather hour-to-hour, way. Thanks to clockmakers like Earnshaw, precise and reliable clocks and watches became ever more affordable. Before long the whole of Britain was running by the clock, and the measurement of time had been severed from the natural cycle of days and seasons. The clock ruled every aspect of life - shops and schools, pleasure and work. As Charles Dickens wrote, 'There was even railway time observed in clocks, as if the sun itself had given in.'

When should a writer organize details from least important to most​ important?
katrin [286]
Standard news stories are organized with the most important facts first. This is done so that people who only read the first couple of paragraphs get the gist of the story.

Also -- people tend to remember what they heard or read first -- when they are more alert and interested.
