Answer 2

I know its not C.

Answer 3

Want me to repost it?

Answer 4

No, that's alright (:
I would think it's 'a rare bird', A?
I mean...the most important thing in this sentence are the birds. But that's just a guess -o-

Answer 5

I mean this a college level question. I want to make sure this is right. Is there anyone else we can call again to get a confirmation for a answer?

Answer 6

Now that I think about it- i believe it's between A and D.
But umm..I think we should call @DangerousJesse :P

Answer 7

Answer 8

Jesse can you help?

Answer 9

Answer 10

A limited topic sentence is a sentence that adds boundaries to a larger subject. Say you were writing about mammals, and the fifth paragraph said "Jessica's favorite mammal is the cat; did you know..." It would be limiting the topic of mammals to just cats.

Answer 11

So the limited topic would be the topic of the sentence that limits a broad topic to a single group; determined birdwatchers is your answer :)
