Every sentence that follows the topic sentence will in some way support or prove the controlling idea. If it doesn't support the idea then it shouldn't be in the paragraph!

The <em>controlling idea</em> in a piece of text tells the reader how the paragraph is held together. It indicates the structure of the paragraph in order to help the reader comprehend the relationship between the various sentences in the paragraph.

Take this statement as an example:

<em />

<em>World War I was a dark event in the annals of human history; millions of people died, and many beautiful landscapes were destroyed.</em>

By analyzing key phrases inside the statement such as dark event, people died, and landscapes were destroyed, one can tell that the controlling idea in the text is the dire consequences of World War I.

What initiated the wife’s exile in "The Wife’s Lament"?
Sidana [21]

In "The Wife's Lament" a plot by her husband's kinsmen initiated the wife's exile.

Explanation:

"The Wife's Lament" or "The Wife's Complaint" is an Old English poem found in the Exeter Book (the 10th-century anthology of Anglo-Saxon poetry). It consists of 53 lines, and is and generally treated as an elegy or woman's song, which shows a woman's grief about a lost of absent lover, although there are numerous different interpretations and disagreements regarding the genre and theme.

If we take a look at the poem, we can see that the cause of the wife's exile are her husband's kinsmen:

<em>They insinuated, the kinsmen of that man,</em>

<em>by secret thought, to separate us two</em>

<em>so that we two, widest apart in the worldly realm,</em>

<em>should live most hatefully—and it harrowed me. </em>

<em />

<em>My lord ordered me to take this grove</em>

<em>for a home — very few dear to me</em>

<em>in this land, almost no loyal friends.</em>
