Answer 1

To trace the development of a central idea in a text, readers can effectively do so by:

1. By analyzing the text structure - Understanding how the text is organized helps readers see how the central idea is developed through various sections or chapters.

2. By assessing the included details - Analyzing the details that support or elaborate on the central idea provides insight into its development and significance throughout the text.

The other options, while valuable in their own right, do not directly relate to tracing the development of a central idea as effectively as the two selected.
