Question

1.

Answer 1

1.) The correct answer for question 1 is "Blume is a gifted writer who can write for children as well as adults." The main idea of this paragraph is stated in the final sentence; it reads "Judy Blume is an exceptionally talented and productive American author."  The third sentence ("However Blume also has...." ) supports this main idea because the ability to write well for two age groups implies she has a unique talent by writing for two age groups and was more productive by writing both for adults and children.

2.) The topic of this video game would be a 'A superbird saves the world'. The game does not focus on informing about radiation or nuclear power, so both 'Radiation leaks are dangerous' and 'Nuclear power plants' are not the topic of the game. Although a bird who eats radiation indeed has a superpower,  the game does not focus on exploring the bird's powers, rather the topic is saving the world by eating the plants before the power plants explode and the world is destroyed.

3 ) The correct answer  to 3 is "It points out that walking is a good introduction to exercise for beginners." The main idea of the paragraph is that  it is "low impact and requires no fancy equipment". The third sentence supports this idea because people new to exercise may not be likely to invest in special equipment, and as newcomers to exercise they may be more susceptible to injuries and walking reduces their risk.

4.) As discussed in question 1, the main idea of this paragraph is that Blume is both an extremely  talented and productive writer so the correct answer is "Blume is a gifted writer who can write for children as well as adults.

5) The main idea of this paragraph as discussed above is "Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment". The sentence support this idea by giving specific examples of injuries to tendons and muscles that are avoided when walking and by describing how, with the exception of "good sneakers",  one does not need special equipment.
