kindly help in understanding why is 3rd sentence not the explanation, or is it elaboration of explanation? so we have to chose the 2nd sentence
is my reasoning correct
How would you summarize the main idea of the paragraph?
There is written evidence of Spanish and other people travelling to America in 15th, 16th, 18th and 19th centuries, along with other parts of world and writing was mostly an elite activity
Exactly. The focus is on the abundance of written records on travel, and sentence two explains where that abundance came from. Sentence 3 is about the rest of the people who weren’t able to contribute as much.
In other words, we have extensive writings about these travels because the elite had the time and ability to write.
