What is a main idea of the text 8 reasons why not to be spewed out by spiders this Halloween by Lizzy

I can see that there are no choices.

The main idea of text 8 is: "Do not fear spiders for there are only a few of them that are harmful to humans."

This supports the reason why spiders are not actually very dangerous. Many people are afraid of spiders thinking that all of them are harmful when in fact, only 0.5% of them are dangerous to humans.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the article entitled "Eight Reasons to Not be Spooked by Spiders this Halloween," written by Lizzy Lowe. She has listed down the different reasons as to why people should not be afraid of spiders. Instead of focusing on the bad side of spiders, she focused on how amazing the spider is.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
