Answer to Question 1

The main idea of an essay is not always stated. If it is not, the writer
implies the idea and the reader determines it by making an inference.

Answer to Question 2

The main idea of an essay is called the thesis. The sentence(s) in which
the main idea is stated is called the thesis statement.
