The center of a graphic organizer should include the main idea of a writing piece. In this case, the main idea is "Trip to the Beach" so all of the pieces of the graphic organizer should be things that one would do or bring to the beach.

Of the answer choices provided, the best answer is "Sunscreen, Swimsuit, Towel, Beachball " because they are all items you might bring when going to the beach. A beach is generally warm, so you would not need a coat, gloves, boots, or a sweater.

Answer

The center of a graphic organizer should include the main idea of a writing piece. In this case, the main idea is "Trip to the Zoo" so all of the pieces of the graphic organizer should be things that one would do or see at a zoo.

Of the answer choices provided, the best answer is "Monkeys, Fish, Elephants, Lions". Though you might see cars in the parking lot at the zoo, it's very unlikely that you'd see trains, planes, or boats at the zoo. The main purpose of a zoo trip is to see the animals, meaning the answer choice that includes all animals is the best answer.
