An Irish newspaper editorial encouraging women to participate in the non-importation movement launched in Ireland in 1779 appears consistent with a perception that the political use of the consumer boycott originated in North America and spread eastwards across the Atlantic to Ireland. This is a view that most historians have concurred with. For example, T.H. Breen argued that the consumer boycott was a brilliantly original American invention. Breen did acknowledge that a few isolated boycotts may have taken place in other countries. However, Mary O'Dowd argues that from the late seventeenth century, Irish political discourse advocated for the nonconsumption of imported goods and support for home manufactures by women in ways that were strikingly similar to those used later in North America.

The short passage can be tricky. They do not have a clear structure or standard unfold like the long passages. It is more difficult to pinpoint the main idea.
However, reading carefully, you must notice the transition and the flowing in the passage itself and the main idea is not that difficult to carve out
We do know that a newspaper told us that the boycott movement started from the US to Ireland
Then most historians agree with this view
BUT
T.H. Breen argued that the consumer boycott was a brilliantly original American invention.
Then
Breen did acknowledge that a few isolated boycotts may have taken place in other countries.
Afterward, someone else said that the moment spread out in Ireland and was NOT "imported" from the US
However, Mary O'Dowd argues that from the late seventeenth century, Irish political discourse advocated for the nonconsumption of imported goods and support for home manufactures by women in ways that were strikingly similar to those used later in North America.
A resolving a dispute
NO
B advocating a course of action
No at all
C tracing the evolution of a practice
no practice or chronological unfold
D citing competing views of an issue
yes. competing views. X says the movement was imported from US to Ireland. Others said that originated elsewhere. Others said that was typical of Ireland and NOT imported from US
E chronicling a series of events
No at all . No dates or sequence
