Answer:

The key point made in a passage is called its main idea.

Explanation:

The main idea -or<em> central idea</em>- of a passage is the most important thought of a paragraph or larger section of a text. Although it may not be clearly stated, main ideas tell the reader what this paragraph or section is about. It is usually a sentence that can be located at the beginning of the paragraph or in any other place within the paragraph.

I just need a few examples, thank you!

One of the reasons people destroy or get rid of what they don't understand is the fear of the unknown. This fear is deeply anchored on self-preservation.

<h3>Examples of people getting rid of what they don't understand</h3>

<em>One key example of how this is practiced is in the relationship between man and animals</em>. People who are afraid that a certain kind of animal might hurt them are more likely to support hunting or killing such an animal.

<em>The other example is in relation to people. </em>Over the history of mankind, man has helped to destroy one another because of the fear of self-preservation. A fake document called Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which alleged that the Jews had a plan to take over the world triggered the Holocaust.

<h3>The danger of the mindset above</h3>

The irony is that many times, due to ignorance, a person or a group of people may do away with the very thing that can preserve or better their life.
