The platypus is an Australian mammal that is not easily classified. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bears young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills. The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal. Which sentence describes the main idea? *

Answer: How To
To determine the nonfiction genre that teaches the reader a process, you need to understand the different genres and their purposes.
History focuses on events of the past and does not necessarily teach a process.
Biography tells the story of a person's life but does not focus on teaching a process.
Humor is a genre that aims to entertain rather than teach a process.
On the other hand, How To is a genre specifically designed to instruct and teach the reader a process. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to do something. Therefore, the correct answer is How To.
