Question

To identify the central idea of a text, it is most helpful to ask what information is missing from the text.

Answer 1

Answer:

Think about how to summarize the text.

Explanation:

If you can summarize a test, that means that you understand what the text is about. For example, people who have experienced an event, are better at telling the story. Once you summarize the text, you can get an overall idea of what the text is about.

Overall idea = central idea.
