Correct answers:
- It includes the topic of the text.
- It includes the author’s viewpoint.
- It is the underlying message of the text.
- It is comparable to the theme (for a work of fiction).
Why: The controlling idea (or main/thesis) names the topic and states the author’s perspective or central message; in fiction it corresponds to the theme. It does not require quotes from experts (those are supporting details), and while the controlling idea is often stated early (like a thesis), it is not always explicitly placed in the introduction.
