Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text?
Home isn't the place you grew up or spent the most time, it's the people who you feel the most emotionally close to.
Spending holidays at home is important to people, as home is the place that they feel emotionally connected to and where they are most comfortable.
Holidays have become more superficial in recent years, focusing on presents and decorations rather than family, friends, and emotional stability.
While leaving home can be a difficult experience, it's important to go out on your own and establish your own home.

Part B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A (central idea)?

"Studies have shown that a forced relocation can elicit heartbreak and distress every bit as intense as the loss of a loved one." Paragraph 7
"Twenty-six percent reported that home was where they were born or raised; only 22 percent said it was where they currently live." Paragraph 14
"Home, therefore, is a predictable and secure place where you feel in control and properly oriented in space and time; it is a bridge between your past and your present, an enduring tether to your family and friends." Paragraph 21
