Answer 1

The correct response is: A central idea is more complex and specific.

The topic is generally a broad subject or theme, while the central idea dives deeper into the specific message or insight that the text conveys about that topic. The central idea synthesizes the main points, emotions, or meanings derived from the broader topic.
