To identify the central idea of a text, it is most to

1. ask what information is missing from the text.

2. think about how to summarize the text.

3. determine whether the facts in the text are accurate.

4.find out information about the author of the text.

I believe the most accurate answer is 2: think about how to summarize the text.

Explanation:

From this question's options, 2 sounds the best since summarizing texts usually reveal to me the central idea of the text using clues from the sentences in the text.

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !
