Read this passage:

The trouble is, of course, that they put up that sign saying

what flavors they have, with little cardboard inserts to put

in or take out flavors, way back when they first opened the

store. But they never change the sign - or not often

enough. They always have flavors that aren't on the list,

and often they don't have flavors that are on the list.

Children know this - whether innately or from earlier

experience it would be hard to say.

Explanation:

The main idea of the passage is described in the first line of this paragraph i. e. "The trouble is, of course, that they put up that sign ... ". This problem/idea is discussed in next few lines. In the last part of this passage, the writer tells the readers about children's special abilities to identify the flavors just by names, without the signs.

Option A is not correct firstly because the writer has clearly stated the main idea by calling it "the trouble" and secondly the passage is about ice-cream and not about children's abilities.

Option C is incorrect because the passage says nothing deciding on flavor of ice creams.

Option D is incorrect because it is contrary to what is described in the passage. Passage says they don't update signs. Moreover adding new flavors is not result of running out of flavor.
