what is the topic sentence? My first time on horseback was embarrassing. I had never been on a horse in my life, but I was afrai

d to admit it. That’s probably where my trouble started. When I lifted my foot to put it into the stirrup, my friend Sally laughed. “Use the other foot, silly,” she said. Blushing beet red, I laughed too. I used the other foot. Then it took me about 10 minutes to swing up into the saddle. The horse kept moving and I scampered along on one foot while Sally giggled. Finally mounted, I looked down. I felt as if I were sitting on a mountain! Fortunately, Sally had chosen a gentle mare for me. I realize now she wasn’t fooled. She knew I didn’t know the first thing about riding. She really is a good friend. After a while, I learned to relax a little. I was actually riding a horse and it was fun. I even learned how to use the reins to guide the horse to the left and to the right.

Answer:

My first time on horseback was embarrassing.

Explanation:

The topic sentence is the most important sentence in a paragraph because it indicates what the paragraph is about. Therefore, it summarizes the subject matter of the paragraph. Besides, the topic sentence is usually placed at the beginning of the paragraph, while the rest of the sentences provide support or examples that develop the idea stated in the topic sentence.

How does this passage develop the theme "Evil can never truly hide itself”?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The above passage is taken from a gothic novel ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. This passage develops the theme "Evil can never truly hide itself” when Utterson and Enfield are horrified when they see Jekyll’s transformation”. Jekyll believed that man does not have one side ‘but truly two’. He asserts that human soul struggling for mastery is a battleground for a “fiend” and an “angel”. Therefore, it can be separated by bringing the dark side into being.
