Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for the question to be answered accurately. However, to try to help you, I will show you how you can find the main argument of a text. I hope this helps.

The main argument of a text is usually found in the first sentence of the text, with the other phrases being used to support and prove the relevance of the argument and the accuracy it has. It can happen the other way around too, and the main argument is in the last sentence.

In short, an author's main argument in the text is the idea he is defending. This idea can be identified because the author is positioning himself on something, showing something that must be observed.

Going into this last dive, Archie is in a tough spot: He will need an
almost perfect score in order to secure the gold. You can tell the fans
are anxious as the numbers flash on the scoreboard. It's very unlikely
that Archie can achieve a high enough score with the dive he has
planned, so, realistically, he has only two hopes left: He can attempt a
more difficult dive to gain more points, or his next-closest opponent, Li,
could falter. Otherwise, it seems certain that Archie will be locked out
of gold-medal contention.
Which best states the central idea of the passage?
A. Archie needs to achieve a perfect score on his next dive.
B. A more difficult dive is risky but ultimately the best option.
O C. It is not likely that Archie will win a gold medal.
D. Li has been known to falter under pressure.

Read the following excerpt from Little Women.

"Really, girls, you are both to be blamed," said Meg, beginning to lecture in her elder-sisterly fashion. "You are old enough to leave off boyish tricks, and to behave better, Josephine. It didn't matter so much when you were a little girl, but now you are so tall, and turn up your hair, you should remember that you are a young lady."

"I'm not! And if turning up my hair makes me one, I'll wear it in two tails till I'm twenty," cried Jo, pulling off her net, and shaking down a chestnut mane. "I hate to think I've got to grow up, and be Miss March, and wear long gowns, and look as prim as a China Aster! It's bad enough to be a girl, anyway, when I like boy's games and work and manners! I can't get over my disappointment in not being a boy. And it's worse than ever now, for I'm dying to go and fight with Papa. And I can only stay home and knit, like a poky old woman!"
