Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping

the blade well away from her gloved fingers. The spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. She did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. She had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. If the animal had died of Ebola, this was not a clear case. She opened up the intestine. There was no blood inside it. The gut looked okay. Then she examined the stomach. There she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. This could be a sign of Ebola, but it was not a clear sign. It could also be a sign of simian fever, not Ebola. Therefore, she could not confirm the presence of Ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph? It is difficult to identify Ebola in dead specimens. Performing a necropsy is a tedious procedure. Signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar. Ebola has unusual effects on infected monkeys.

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about central ideas?
Gelneren [198K]

The correct answer is C. Central Ideas are only found in literary works

Explanation:

Central ideas are the main point, though or idea a writer wants to explain to the audience based on the topic the author is writing about and the purpose and focus of it, therefore the central ide summarizes in one sentence all the content of the text including major details. This implies, the central idea is the idea or point the author develops in during the text by organizing the information in paragraphs and including details, evidence, examples, etc. Additionally, to this, central ideas can be stated explicitly or developed implicitly and can be found in almost any types of text including literary works, scientific articles, research reports, essays, etc. as all texts generally develop one central point or idea. Thus, the statement that is not true about central ideas is that "Central Ideas are only found in literary works" because the central idea can be found in most of the texts whether they belong to literature or not.
