Question

what is the central idea of this text?
a world war ii was the deadliest war in history and was fought between two main groups of powerful countries.
b cities such as paris and new york city are popular destinations for tourists from around the world.
c the united states had many opportunities for african american soldiers who fought in world war ii.
d when world war i was over, many african american soldiers stayed in paris where they were treated well.

Explanation:

To determine the central idea, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Focuses on general info about WWII (deadliest, two groups), but if the text is about African American soldiers in WWII or post - WWI, this is too broad.
• Option B: Is about tourist cities (Paris, NYC), which is unrelated to war/soldiers context.
• Option C: Talks about US opportunities for African American soldiers in WWII. But if the text is about post - WWI (as D suggests) or treatment in Paris, this is off - topic.
• Option D: Mentions African American soldiers staying in Paris after WWI and good treatment. If the text is about this post - WWI scenario, this fits as a central idea. Assuming the text is about African American soldiers' post - WWI experience in Paris, D is the best.

Answer:

D. When World War I was over, many African American soldiers stayed in Paris where they were treated well.
