Answer 3

Thanks!

All right, let's get started.

Answer 4

So the controlling idea is basically an opinion on a certain topic. It states the purpose of what you're about to write.
So I would like you to give a guess. Which one do you believe gives off an opinion that states the purpose?

Answer 5

will i think i would choose the second one

Answer 6

The second one would be correct! It entirely explains the purpose of what any piece of writing will be about. Plus, it's an opinion rather than a proven fact. Good job! @flores5005
