The correct answer is A. Main ideas
Explanation:
In texts or speeches, the purpose of the author or speaker is always to explain a central idea that is related to a specific topic, situation or issue. Additionally, the central idea is developed through main ideas, which are more specific than the central idea and act as detailed points of it. For example, in a persuasive speech the main ideas are the key reasons that support the author's position, in the same way, in the case of a text that explains the effects of global warming the details or main ideas to explain the topic are the more important effects of global warming in terms of ecosystems, health, economy, etc. According to this, the main ideas there the ones that are detailed points of focus for developing your central idea.
Answer and Explanation:

I have just returned from the National Park (name of the park, if you wish to add it). Who would have thought what was meant to be a calm morning out hiking could turn out this way? Frightening, yet inspiring.
A tiger was lurking in the shadows, beneath the tall trees, so leafy the sun could only shine through when their branches moved with the wind. There I stood, face to face with it. It did not seem to appreciate my presence there. While it saw me as a disturbance, I saw it as a threat. My body froze, but my heart did not. I has never beat so fast, so astonishingly rapidly. I bet the tiger could hear it, could sense it. The beating seemed loud even to my human, incapable ears.
The tiger began to walk toward me, slowly and heavily, its paws treading the dirt with a sort of decisiveness only a predator could possess. I readied myself to run, knowing it would be the shortest race of my life. There was no way I could escape it... unless there was. In the distance, something sounded. A gun? Thunder? I don't know. Whatever it was, it saved my life, for the tiger thought better to run away. It wanted to avoid whatever had caused the sound, whereas I wanted to thank it.
I'm lying in bed while I write this... hands still trembling. Still, my bed has never felt so comfortable. The shaky movement of my hands is nothing but a sign that I'm still alive.
NOTE: I got a bit carried away while writing. This has more than 80 words, so feel free to edit it.
Answer:
Cellphones, the internet, email, etc.
Explanation:
In terms of communication, the biggest advance has to be the telephone, allowing people the ability to talk in real-time regardless of distance. To use even more advanced technology, the smart phone provided even more ways to communicate. For example, the ability to text or video chat has provided people with even easier/more personal ways of communicating. Hope this helps!
I believe the answer would be A. If the question is ‘from what line from the article does the author reveal how she would like others to respond to her lack of hearing?’ Then the answer would be A. She says that she ‘hated to be seen as inferior’ this suggests that the way she would like to see others respond is, not by acting like she is inferior, but acting as if she were any other person.
