What is the central idea of the first paragraph of the dark game?

the civil war was a short conflict between the north and the south.
the civil war lasted longer than people at first expected it to last.
during the civil war, there were many casualties on both sides.
during the civil war, fort sumter was overtaken by the confederacy.

The correct answer is: "The Civil War lasted longer than people at first expected it to last".

In the first paragraph of The Dark Game, the central idea supports the view that people thought the Civil War would be over much quicker than it actually did. This is established by the author when they pile up the details about the war's duration and the emphasis on it lasting four years.

Hope this helps!
