The main idea is the central point or message that the author wants to convey in a text.

Furious means being very upset or angry.

Common symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache, and trouble breathing.

The main idea can often be identified by looking for a sentence that summarizes the content or by determining what the paragraph is mostly about.

The purpose of reading comprehension is to understand, interpret, and analyze written texts.

To infer information means to draw conclusions based on evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.

A symptom is a subjective experience reported by the patient, while a sign is an objective finding observed by a healthcare provider.

Strategies include summarizing, questioning, predicting, and visualizing the content.
