Question

Which sentence conveys the main idea in the passage?

I am writing regarding a problem with my electric bill. Last month, my bill was abnormally high. My average bill has ranged between $400 and $700 during the past year. However, the bill for March was $1,750. Please send your service representative to check my meter and the circuits.
I would like to have this problem corrected in the next billing cycle. As you know, I have been a loyal customer for three years, and I have always paid my bill on time. I am sure that you will respond immediately, as you have in the past. I hope to continue as your customer in the future.

Answer 1

Answer:

I would like to have this problem corrected in the next billing cycle.

Explanation:

The above sentence is the correct sentence that conveys the main idea in the passage.

The passage is more likely a letter of complain or a query that is urging and pleading with the electrical company to visit and rectify/correct the problem he has in his electrical bill.

Everything the writer wrote here all moves to the one direction - the correcting of the electric bill problem. The writer started by stating the actual problem and followed it up by the expected action he wants the electrical company to take in solving his problem.
