Question

Read the draft body paragraphs. Select the paragraph with a vague topic sentence.

One symbol is for nature. In paragraph 9, a wave "caught the boat and whirled it almost perpendicular. Water swarmed
in from all sides." The images in this sentence create a sense of power and chaos. The waves wreck the boat, and the men
then have to swim for the beach.

A symbol that expresses the incredible power of nature is death. In paragraph 28, the reader learns that the oiler does
not survive the swim to shore, and in paragraph 30, the oiler's body is carried away to the "sinister hospitality of the grave."
This tragic event shows fully how strong nature can be.
