Most teenagers and adults may not know what they want to do for the rest of their lives. It is a big decision. There are a number of things you can do to narrow the choices. For example you can take an interest test, do some research on your own about a career, try volunteer work in the field in which you are interested, or “job-shadow”, in which you spend a day with a person who is working in a field that interests you. These are just a few helpful ideas as you begin to choose a career.

 In this paragraph:

• the topic is jobs or career choices
• the main idea is: ideas to help the reader choose a career

The rules of conduct during an examination are clear.  No books, calculators or papers are allowed in the test room.  Proctors will not allow anyone with such items to take the test.  Anyone caught cheating will be asked to leave the room.  His or her test sheet will be taken.  The incident will be reported to the proper authority.  At the end of the test period, all materials will be returned to the proctor.  Failure to abide by these rules will result in a failing grade for this test.

You should have underlined the first sentence in the paragraph – this is part of the main idea.  What can be concluded from the information is: If you do not follow the rules, you will automatically fail the test.  This concluding information is found in the last sentence.
