Question

Mom, I know I broke the rules and you took my phone away, but I can't survive without it. My friends are upset that I am not texting them back. I am not able to check my websites. I am so bored without my music and games. I apologize for what I did.

What is the main idea of the passage?


I know I broke the rules.

I want my phone back.

I am so bored.

I apologize for what I did.

Answer 1

The main idea of the passage would be "I want my phone back."

Throughout the passage, the writer states the reasons why he cannot live without their phone. It would not be the last choice because he is only apologizing at the end of the passage. He does state he is bored, but that was once or twice. The writer knows he broke the rules, but he's stating why he wants his phone back because he can't live without it.
