This chapter is about Using Inference to Identify Implied Main Ideas. The authors use details to help reads understand the supporting details.
Details are specific pieces of information that serve as the "arms and legs" of the main idea. They are usually presented as facts, opinions, examples, illustrations, explanations or definitions and are frequently discovered by asking questions. In order to understand a paragraph, you need to be able to pinpoint the topic and locate the main idea. It is the "key concept" being expressed. It supports the main idea by telling how, what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. Location the topic, main idea and supporting details helps you understand the points, the writer is attempting to express. Identifying the relationship between these will increase your comprehension.
If you are able to distinguish between the major and main supporting details, in your reading materials, it means you have understood what you have reading.
