Question 7 of 10

Choose the best topic sentence for this cause-and-effect paragraph. The
paragraph is complete except for the topic sentence.
Suffering has taught me that I am not in control of my own
destiny, although I do get to make choices in the
circumstances. Because of my trials, I now do not view the
world as a fundamentally good place, but as a place that is
flawed and waiting for perfection. Trials have also caused
me to persevere with determination I did not know
possessed. Although I do not enjoy hardship, I know that
life's trials produce positive change.
A. I have found that trials in my life have had profound, positive
effects on the way that I view myself and the world.
B. Suffering has negative effects on people.
C. Trials are awful.
