Question

1.

Answer 1

Answer:

The last statement of the text "It is extremely important that juvenile offenders are rehabilitated, as violent  teenagers are more likely to become violent adults" presents the central idea.

Explanation:

The central or main idea of a paragraph states the purpose of the paragraph and sets the direction of the paragraph or passage. It is normally but not necessarily at the start of the paragraph.

In this specific passage, it is the last statement to prove which, all earlier statements, propositions and inferences are made. Hence it is the central idea of the paragraph.
