    Identify the main idea and/or thesis statement.For young children, losing privileges for short amounts of time can be very effective.  One way for this to happen is by using what is called “Time-Out.”  Time-Out means time away from all those fun things in a child’s life.  It is a way of disciplining your child without raising your hand or your voice.  Basically, Time-Out involves having your child sit in one place for a certain amount of time.  You can easily see that most kids wouldn’t like Time-Out because they would rather be doing fun things (Burke & Herron, 1996, p. 40).

    • Time-Out is not an effective way of disciplining children.

    • Time-Out is an effective way of disciplining children.

    • Spanking is the least effective way of disciplining children.

    • Time-Out means sitting in one place for a certain amount of time.

    Correct Answer
    A. Time-Out is an effective way of disciplining children.
    Explanation
    Yes, the first two sentences provide the topic: "Time-Out" and present the author's opinion that they are effective.

    a) Is not correct because it states the opposite of the author's opinion on time-out.
    b) Is correct.
    c) Is not correct. Spanking can not be the main idea because it is not addressed in the article.
    d) Is not correct because this is a supporting detail, not the main idea.
