Question

What would be the best topic sentence for the following paragraph? “_________ To begin, the title, “Death of a Salesman” gives away the ending of the play, so I found it hard to enjoy the show knowing it was spoiled. Having to watch the main character, Willy Loman, struggle to remember his lines, was painful. The rest of the cast tried in vain to keep the play moving as Willy seemed to wander aimlessly around the poorly constructed set. This was nothing more than a horrible waste of two hours.

A. I am not a big fan of plays.
B. To say the local production of “Death of a Salesman” was disappointing is a massive understatement.
C. “Death of a Salesman” is easily one of the worst plays ever written.
D. As a fan of “Death of a Salesman,” it hurt to see such a terrible production of it.
