Answer 2

Answer: The one that best describes "statement" in the SEE technique is "state the main idea of the paragraph".

Explanation: The SEE technique is used to express a specific idea or concept, clarify it and understand it. In that way, when a writer is using the SEE technique, the concepts involved are described in a clear way and repeated many times. SEE stands for 'State, Elaborate and Exemplify' and it was developed by Richard Paul and Linda Elder. In the part of "statement", the writer must express the main idea clearly but briefly. Therefore, the main idea is stated in one or two sentences.
