Which title best captures the main idea of a passage on community gardens?

• A. A title about urban farming techniques.
• B. A title about community fundraising and events.
• C. A title about improving soil quality and nutrients.
• D. A title about improved access to fresh produce and community health.

Answer: (D)

Identifying the central message of a passage and choosing a title that matches that message. A title should capture the overall impact rather than a single detail. In a piece about community gardens, the strongest title conveys how these gardens affect people—specifically, better access to fresh produce and improved community health. This makes sense because a passage about benefits to the community generally centers on outcomes for people, not just how gardens are run or what technical aspects they involve. The option about urban farming techniques focuses on methods, not the broader impact. The one about fundraising and events points to activities rather than outcomes. The one about soil quality is a technical detail. Therefore, the title that highlights improved access to fresh produce and community health best reflects the main idea.
