1) Hurricanes and tornados are two of nature’s destructive forces. 2) Hurricanes bring high winds, high seas, and vast amounts of rain. 3) High seas rip into the shore line and cause massive flooding, while strong winds and rains can destroy homes, pull down power lines, and uproot trees. 4) Tornados are no better. 5) They can destroy a home, as easily as we pick up a snail, with their powerful wind funnel.
Which of the 5 is the topic sentence?
Well a topic sentence is a sentence that expresses the main idea of the paragraph in which it occurs. It is mostly likely a sentence with a clear main idea but still need someone back-up info... So what do you think?
@H3LPN33DED
@~*Ashtyn*~ My guess would be 3 because it really explains alot
No, I don't think so... It has to much info. What you need to look for is a sentence that is a tad bland or plain :) 3 would most likely be a supporting sentence NOT a topic sentence ;) So try again...
Do you have another guess...?
Keep this in mind... A topic sentence is a one sentence summary of a paragraph's main point. It should directly relate to and support the essay's thesis. The thesis statement is the main point of your entire essay. So what do you think the thesis statement is?
@H3LPN33DED ??? Uh... Where did you go lol
@~*Ashtyn*~ 1???
Yes, 1 is the thesis statement... So which one do you MOST supports it...
@~*Ashtyn*~ Heading to lunch now xD
