Question

Which of these is a correct statement? A topic sentence and thesis statement claims differ in magnitude. A topic sentence summarizes the central thesis. A topic sentence and a thesis statement are essentially the same thing. A topic sentence includes evidence from the text.

Answer 1

A topic sentence and thesis statement claims differ in magnitude.

A topic sentence summarizes the central thesis.

A thesis describes what will be in the entire essay, while a topic sentence describes what will be in an individual paragraph. Both of these seem right, but the BEST answer looks like the first choice, as a thesis may not always include all the topics in an essay.
