Reading Comprehension: Hierarchy of Ideas

Instructions

For each statement, identify its relationship to the information in the passage, and select the option that best explains that relationship:

1. Main Idea — encapsulates the central argument of the passage
2. Supporting Statement — supports the main idea
3. Contradictory Statement — goes against the main idea
4. Irrelevant Statement — has no bearing on the main idea
5. Unsupported Statement — cannot be deduced from the passage

Every passage has exactly ONE Main Idea statement. All remaining statements may be any combination of the other four types.
