I would say the correct answer is <span>c. greatly distressed.

The correct answer is C. Central Ideas are only found in literary works
Explanation:
Central ideas are the main point, though or idea a writer wants to explain to the audience based on the topic the author is writing about and the purpose and focus of it, therefore the central ide summarizes in one sentence all the content of the text including major details. This implies, the central idea is the idea or point the author develops in during the text by organizing the information in paragraphs and including details, evidence, examples, etc. Additionally, to this, central ideas can be stated explicitly or developed implicitly and can be found in almost any types of text including literary works, scientific articles, research reports, essays, etc. as all texts generally develop one central point or idea. Thus, the statement that is not true about central ideas is that "Central Ideas are only found in literary works" because the central idea can be found in most of the texts whether they belong to literature or not.
