A topic sentence refers to the main idea of the paragraph. Usually, a topic sentence is found on the first line of the paragraph wherein it tells something about the entire content of the paragraph. The main idea of the paragraph or the topic sentence must be following by supporting evidence or statements. The topic sentence should be general and at the same time specific. It is general in the sense that it must be able to present the entire subject of the paragraph but specific enough to be understood by readers.

The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."
In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.
