The appropriate response is “B. Limited topic.”

 

A topic sentence is, by definition, a controlling idea, so we can safely assume “A” is not what is missing because this sentence is a topic sentence.  Because a topic sentence is generally one of the first sentences in a paragraph, we know it is not missing a concluding idea because that would appear toward the end of a paragraph, so we know "C" is not the answer.  We can further determine that support for the main point is not missing from the topic sentence because support for the main point would appear following the topic sentence within the body of the paragraph, so we know "D" is not the answer.  What is missing, however, is a limited topic.  The way things currently stand with “Giving holiday gifts can be expensive!” is  a bit broad (almost too vague) which means there is potentially so much that can be covered that anything covered will be too superficial and underdeveloped.   By limiting the scope and narrowing the topic by, for instance, specifying the holiday, the types of presents, or the cost, one would be able to provide a well-developed and focused paragraph.

Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.
Brums [2.3K]

The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt is:

  • Chaucer criticizes the notion that divine forgiveness depends on giving money.

<h3>What is satire?</h3>

Satire is the act of criticizing a bad situation or event using humorous lines of reasoning. This is exactly what Chaucer accomplishes in this excerpt.

He criticized the materialistic aspect of religion where many thought that God was impressed by their financial donations and would thus overlook their sins. In a humorous manner, Chaucer tells the people to come with their gold and have their sins forgiven.
