C) "During the 1300s, a secret passage helped free an English king who was taken captive by his enemies."

Explanation:

<u>A topic sentence must convey the idea of the whole paragraph.</u> <u>In that sense the paragraph here works on the idea of secret passages being historically significant</u> in the important events that changed the course of history.

Thus either the first sentence of the paragraph or this sentence fit the description stated above. Out  of all the options given this statement directly refers to the theme and thus is the topic sentence.

Which answer is best represented by the highlighted text?.
Schach [20]

Answer:

B. Fact

Explanation:

The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>

The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."

So, this explains the answer.
