It is easy to identify a main idea that is directly expressed in the text. Main ideas are often found at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage. Main ideas are also found in the concluding sentences of a paragraph.
<span>Flowers. A nosegay was a small bunch of flowers one held so if you passed something foul-smelling, you could take a sniff of that instead.</span>
The First sentence is where the quotation is used correctly- quotations is used with the titles of literary works and not with the name of the writers.
