Explanation:

To show understanding of "main idea", we create a sentence where it refers to the central theme of a text. For example, in a science article about photosynthesis, the main idea could be how plants convert light energy. Here, we'll use a simple text: a fable.

Answer:

When reading the fable "The Tortoise and the Hare", the main idea is that slow and steady perseverance often leads to success, while overconfidence can cause failure.
