Readers can trace the development of a central idea in a text by:

  1. By assessing the included details - This helps to understand how specific details contribute to the growth of the central idea throughout the text.

  2. By analyzing the text structure - Understanding how the text is organized can reveal how the central idea is developed and connected across different sections.

The other options, while they may be relevant to understanding a text in general, are not directly focused on tracing the development of a central idea.
