Answer:

The sentence that best summarizes the main idea of the first paragraph in this passage is "Mosquitos are annoying, but can also cause damage by spreading disease."

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the reference paragraph, here is the paragraph:

Almost everyone has had the unpleasant experience of being bitten by a mosquito. Mosquito bites can cause severe skin irritation due to an allergic reaction to the mosquito's saliva; this is what causes the red bump and itching. But transmission of certain serious diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever and several forms of encephalitis, including West Nile virus, are a more serious consequence of some mosquito bites. Other animals, such as dogs and horses, are highly susceptible to mosquito-borne diseases, such as heartworms, eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile Virus.

This paragraph presents as the main idea the danger that mosquitos carry with them as they can infect others with deathly diseases, some kinds are mention like malaria, and dengue fever, the second part of the paragraph give extra information about how other species can also be affected by this insect but as a supporting detail, the main idea makes references to the spread of diseases.

Vsevolod [243]
The first time most people fall for E.B. White – certainly the first time I did – they are 6 or 7 or 8. In 1952, “Charlotte’s Web” made him the New Yorker writer with the largest grade-school fan base.

I fell in love with “Charlotte’s Web” because, when White talked about grown-up mysteries like love and death, he was as honest as a punch to the jaw. Many years later, I fell in love with “Death of a Pig” because, covering the same subjects for adults, White was as straightforward as a pie to the face.

Here are the facts of the case: A gentleman farmer (and New Yorker staff writer) ventures out to his pig enclosure one September afternoon and discovers that the hog he has nurtured through spring and summer has lost its appetite, gone listless. An obstruction of the bowel is suspected. The farmer, his dachshund and a veterinarian preside over the pig’s decline, until it dies alone a few days later, sometime between supper and midnight. The pig receives a graveside autopsy and is buried under a wild apple tree. The farmer accepts his neighbor’s condolences (“the premature expiration of a pig is, I soon discovered, a departure which the community marks solemnly on its calendar, a sorrow in which it feels fully involved”) before taking up his pen and telling the story “in penitence and in grief, as a man who failed to raise his pig.”
