The central or main idea either refers to the point or purpose of a paragraph or it refers to the summary of a piece of writing. These two concepts are closely related in a piece of writing because the point of each paragraph should contribute to the point of the entire piece of writing. In order to discover the point or purpose of a paragraph, one must first identify the topic of the piece of writing. Then, one must identify the structure or medium used to discuss the topic. Finally, for a paragraph, one should identify the sentences that the other sentences seem to support, and for an entire text, one should identify the statement or idea that the paragraphs seem to discuss or support. When this process is applied to the excerpt from An Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto, I come up with the following answers:
Topic: Japanese internment
Structure: Interview
Central Idea: "I think the saddest memory is the day we had to leave our farm."
Why: The first sentence is the main idea because the sentences that follow it support it. The first few sentences explain why the memory is so devastating. The last few sentences explain that the most devastating aspect was that the family was forced to leave for no legal or just reason.
The statement stating to know the opinions of the others in the group contributes to the cooperative group discussion. Thus, option D is correct.
The question is incomplete as the missing options are:
A. You are dead wrong. What you are saying sounds absolutely crazy.
B. Let’s have a vote on whose point is correct.
C. I cannot stand your know-it-all attitude on this topic.
D. I’d like to know how everyone else in the group feels about it.
<h3>What are cooperative discussions?</h3>
Cooperative group discussions are conferences and talks that involve two or more people in the group. They involve the discussion to be from the perspective of every participant.
In the last option, the discussion is open to everyone as they can discuss the topic freely unlike the other options that are one-sided and do not involve the free stating of the views individually.
Therefore, option D. the views of every person in the group is an example of cooperative group discussion.
