Which excerpt best states the central idea of the second paragraph ofThe Dark Game?

To answer this question, it would be necessary to have access to the text of "The Dark Game" and specifically the second paragraph. Since I don't have access to the text, I can't provide a direct answer. However, I can guide you on how to determine the central idea of a paragraph:

1. Identify the Main Topic: Read the paragraph carefully and identify the main subject or topic being discussed.

2. Look for Repeated Themes: Notice any themes or ideas that are repeated or emphasized throughout the paragraph.

3. Summarize the Paragraph: Try to summarize the paragraph in your own words. What is the paragraph mainly about?

4. Identify Key Sentences: Often, the central idea is stated in the first or last sentence of a paragraph, but it can also be implied throughout.

5. Choose the Best Excerpt: Once you have a good understanding of the paragraph, choose the excerpt that best captures the main idea you identified.

If you have specific excerpts to choose from, you can apply these steps to determine which one best states the central idea.
