Question

Karen would travel anywhere, anytime to get to a Gordon Harrison concert. She had read everything she could find about her favorite rock star. She truly loved every one of his songs. One day, Karen was amazed to see Harrison sitting alone in the back of the restaurant where she worked as a server. Karen took a deep breath and then went over, introduced herself, and asked for the star’s autograph. To her surprise, Harrison asked her to join him. They had an interesting conversation. The celebrity told Karen all about his life and his music. Karen was thrilled, but also shocked to discover that almost everything she had ever read about him was wrong. As Harrison said, the stories had been made up to sell magazines and promote his concerts. Karen learned an important lesson that day: what you may think you are sure of, you may find out is not actually true. Which statement is accurate about this paragraph? a. There’s no topic sentence in this paragraph. b. The first sentence is the topic sentence. c. The last sentence is the topic sentence. d. The topic sentence is implied with details.

2. a. Sentence 1

3. b. On the other hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

In my opinion, the correct answer is c. The last sentence is the topic sentence. A topic sentence should contain and summarize the paragraph's most important idea. The first sentence might seem to be the topic sentence, but upon reading the whole paragraph one will realize that it is just an illustration of a bigger idea that will probably be the topic of the whole text.
