Answer:

The proper term would be controlling idea.

Step-by-step explanation:

A controlling idea is the main point of a given text. It can be the message, or main idea of the text. A summary on the other hand is a shortened version of a text that just states the main points in the order they happened in the text. I hope this helps!
