Categorize the following statements as Main Idea (M), Too Broad (B), or Too Narrow (N): 1. Determination and hard work helped Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquer Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. 2. Climbers on very high mountains often suffer headaches, sore throats, nausea, and sleeplessness, as Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay discovered. 3. Mountain climbing is a dangerous occupation, especially on very high peaks.

More Information
The first two statements are too narrow because they focus specifically on one event or aspect (the Everest climb and the experiences of Hillary and Norgay). The third statement is too broad because it makes a general claim about mountain climbing without specific details or focus.
Tips
When identifying the scope of a statement, consider how much detail is provided and whether the statement could apply to a wide range of situations (broad) or a very specific instance (narrow). The main idea should fall in the middle.
