Step-by-step solution for: Main Idea Worksheets & Facts for Kids | Identifying it + Examples
Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to complete the outline by choosing the correct details from the box at the bottom and placing them in the appropriate blanks.
---
We have four main ideas (I, II, III, IV), each with supporting details (A, B, C). We need to match the correct detail from the box below to each blank.
---
- They hope to reduce acne.
- Some have an allergy.
- Soy milk has more protein.
- Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor.
- It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- It makes the bones stronger.
- It is a good source of choline.
---
Now, let’s go through each section:
---
- A. It gives calcium to the body.
- B. It contains potassium.
- C. _______________
This section is about nutritional content of milk.
Looking at the options:
- "It makes the bones stronger" → related to calcium, so fits here.
- "It is a good source of choline" → also a nutrient.
- But we already have calcium and potassium listed.
So, the best fit for C is:
✔ It is a good source of choline.
> Choline is a nutrient found in milk, and it's not mentioned yet.
---
- A. It is good for the brain.
- B. _______________
- C. _______________
Health benefits — what are the other health-related facts?
From the box:
- "It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease." → health benefit
- "It makes the bones stronger" → already used? Wait — actually, that one might be better under nutrition, but it's also a health benefit.
But note: “It makes the bones stronger” is likely linked to calcium, which is nutritional, but can also be considered a health benefit.
However, we already used "It makes the bones stronger" in part I? No — wait, we didn’t use it yet.
Wait — we did use “It makes the bones stronger” as a possible choice.
But let's check: Is it better under nutrition or health?
- Nutrition: What milk *contains* (calcium, potassium, choline)
- Health: What milk *does* for your body (strengthens bones, helps brain, reduces disease)
So both sections could use it, but since "gives calcium" is already listed under nutrition, then "makes bones stronger" is a health benefit.
So:
- A. It is good for the brain. → already given
- B. It makes the bones stronger. ✔
- C. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. ✔
Because both are health benefits.
So:
- B: It makes the bones stronger.
- C: It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
---
- A. _______________
- B. Some follow a specific diet.
- C. _______________
Why don’t some people drink milk?
Options:
- "Some have an allergy." → yes, common reason
- "They hope to reduce acne." → possible, but less direct
- Others are about alternatives
But we need reasons why people avoid milk.
So:
- A. Some have an allergy. ✔
- C. They hope to reduce acne. ✔
Because both are valid reasons for avoiding milk.
Note: "They hope to reduce acne" might be a bit vague, but it's listed as a reason.
So:
- A: Some have an allergy.
- C: They hope to reduce acne.
(Alternatively, if "they hope to reduce acne" is seen as a motivation, not a reason, but it still fits.)
---
- A. Almond milk is an effective alternative for children and adults.
- B. _______________
- C. _______________
This is about alternatives to milk.
Remaining options:
- Soy milk has more protein. ✔
- Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor. ✔
These both describe characteristics of plant-based milks.
So:
- B: Soy milk has more protein.
- C: Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor.
Perfect fit.

- We matched each detail based on logical connection to the main idea.
- For example, choline is a nutrient, so it fits under nutrition.
- Bone strength and heart health are benefits, so they go under health benefits.
- Allergies and diet choices explain why people avoid milk.
- Soy and oat milk features are alternatives, so they go under different sources of healthy milk.
This ensures the outline is logical and complete.

- Soy milk has more protein.
- Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor.
- It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- It makes the bones stronger.
- It is a good source of choline.
