Rewrite the topic sentence to make it more
specific and thus more closely related to the information in the paragraph.
1. Women have made great advances. Colleges and universities around the country admit more women into professional
schools each year. Women today are increasingly entering such fields as medicine, business, finance, and law. Though
women are still striving to be paid salaries equal to those paid to men, their presence, influence, and future in
professional fields are rapidly expanding.
2. It is easy to get around in large cities. Subway systems usually enable passengers to travel to almost any point in the city
in a short time. In addition, subway fares are inexpensive, often no more than a dollar. For that dollar, the rider usually
can transfer from one line to the next without paying an additional fare. Transfers thus make it possible to travel great
distances cheaply. Most subway systems provide maps free or for an inexpensive fee. These maps enable even a
tourist unfamiliar with the city to figure out which lines go where, and, of course, subway personnel will always
provide directions.
