1. What are two of the central ideas of the article? (A) Mary Shelley was fascinated with science and electricity, and used her
scientific studies to help fuel her writing. (B) Mary Shelley was a gifted writer, and "Frankenstein" is one of the world's best and most enduring horror stories. (C) Mary Shelley lived during the "Year Without a Summer," and this dark season helped her decide to become a writer. (D) Mary Shelley was a writer who married a poet, and the loss of her husband allowed her to explore the concepts of life and death.
A doesn’t make sense to me because what does electricity have to do with writing Frankenstein? B is just a statement and doesn’t really seem like a central idea, so I would say C and D. Hope this helps!
Most teachers will rightfully tell you to read the text thoughtfully and then put it away as you go to summarize it to prevent any sort of plagiarism altogether.
