Assuming yоu аre creаting аn оutline оf the paragraph below, identify the main idea—the sentence that would begin your outline. The main idea may appear anywhere in the paragraph. In the space provided, write only the number of the sentence that states the main idea. 1For most people, fairies are tiny, magical beings who don’t really exist. 2Yet one of the most notorious hoaxes of the 20th century centered around photographs that purported to show actual proof of the existence of fairies. 3These photographs, taken by Elise Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins living in Cottingley, near Bradford, England, depicted the two in various activities with supposed fairies. 4The first two photographs were taken in 1917 and showed the fairies as small humans with period style haircuts, dressed in filmy gowns, and with large wings on their backs. 5As strange as it may seem to us, some very prominent people believed the photos and fairies were real, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famed author of the Sherlock Holmes mystery stories. 6Doyle went so far as to write a book called The Coming of the Fairies, about the Cottingley Fairies and his belief in them. 7It wasn’t until 1981 that the cousins confessed that the photos were fake and the fairies nothing more than cutouts made of paper and cloth.
