Question

in a nonfiction article about honeybees, the ____ ____ could be \honeybees are essential for pollination and food production. theme summary text evidence central idea

Explanation:

The central idea of a nonfiction article is the main point or message it conveys. The statement "Honeybees are essential for pollination and food production" captures the main idea about honeybees' importance. A theme is a broader concept (not specific to the article's subject in this direct way), a summary is a recap of the article, and text evidence supports ideas, not the main idea itself. So "central idea" fits.

Answer:

D. central idea (assuming the options are labeled with the colored boxes, with the red box being the option for central idea)
