The topic is the general subject of a text and the central idea is the most important idea in a text. Authors use text structure to support the details. True or false?

Answer 1

True. The general subject of a text refers to the broad topic being discussed, while the central idea conveys the main point or argument the author wants to communicate. Authors use text structure—such as chronological order, cause and effect, comparison and contrast, etc.—to organize their ideas and support the details presented in the text.
