Answer:

  1. informal writing
  2. novels
  3. short stories

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic sentences are mainly used in formal writing such as essays and newspaper articles. This is due to the fact they give an order to the information. The topic sentence contains the main idea of a paragraph and this is supported by the secondary ideas from the same paragraph.

  1. This type of writing does not follow any logical order: for example family notes; emails to friends.
  2. A novel does not develop a single topic ; it unfolds ficticious stories. The order is given by the thread of the plot.
  3. The same as 2 above.
