Question

Is this paragraph’s main idea stated or implied? The greatest gift the Sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. The Sumerians were a wealthy people. They needed some way to keep track of what they owned. They began drawing pictures. They used a reed as a pen. They drew on soft pieces of clay. The soft clay was then dried in the sun. The tablet became a permanent record. Later, the Sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. This kind of writing is called cuneiform. By putting symbols together, the Sumerians could write entire sentences. A. stated B. implied

Answer 1

Stated is when the writer tells you directly what he is writing about.
Implied is when the main idea was hinted at or suggested, but not directly stated.  An example: "You are fat." This thought was stated.
" You look like you are getting plenty to eat." This thought was implied, however one still gets the message.
The Sumerians gave the world...  This idea was stated.
