Question

How does the author develop the central idea over the course of the text?

Answer 1

Answer:

B). By describing the losses the Japanese suffered shows how quickly the Americans were able to fight back despite the destruction of ships and aircraft.

Explanation:

The central idea is demonstrated as the dominant idea that is advanced throughout the narrative(as intended by the author) that functions to unify the plot(bring all the elements together in one thread).

As per the question, the central idea(of mirroring the strength of Americans) is advanced throughout the course of the narrative by involving the supporting details like 'describing the loss that were born by Japanese reflects that how swiftly the Americans retaliated despite the damage of their ships and aircraft' . It assists to develop and highlight the central idea of 'displaying the tenacity and courage of Americans and failure of Japan in letting them down'. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
