Sagot :

The correct answer is to tell what the paragraph is about.

What are topic sentences?

Every paragraph needs to have a topic sentence that summarizes its important points. The topic phrase also states the main idea the author wishes to get across about the subject. In most of the paragraphs, topic sentence comes first. The first sentence of the paragraph is frequently it. The topic sentence of a paragraph needs to be broad enough to cover the entire subject of the paragraph. However, it must be detailed enough for the reader to grasp the major idea and point of the paragraph.

Guidelines:

  • The main idea and the point of paragraph should be stated in the topic sentence. Read the paragraph and consider its core idea and point before selecting a suitable topic sentence.
  • The sentences in the paragraph that are not the topic sentence—the supporting details—will develop or clarify the theme sentence. Consider the concepts covered in each of the paragraph's supporting details.
  • There shouldn't be any extremes in the topic sentence. Look for a topic sentence in the alternatives that is broad enough to convey the paragraph's main idea rather than just one of its details. The response must be detailed enough for the reader to grasp the paragraph's main idea.
