Classify each statement as either Main Idea, Too Broad, or Too Narrow: 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.
Understand the Problem
The question provides three statements related to mountain climbing and asks to classify each statement as either a "Main Idea", "Too Broad", or "Too Narrow". This requires an understanding of the scope and focus of each statement.
Answer
1. M 2. N 3. B

- Too Broad
Answer for screen readers
- Main Idea
- Too Narrow

More Information
The main idea is the central point or thought the author wants to communicate to the readers. A statement that is too broad is too general and may not accurately reflect the specific focus. A statement that is too narrow is overly specific and doesn't capture the overall essence.
Tips
Consider what the overall idea that is trying to be conveyed. Don't focus on specifics if the question wants you to find the central idea.
