The topic sentence sets the focus<u> on the way the ideas are organized</u> in these two works: <em>The Code Book</em> and <em>The Dark Games. </em>Therefore, the examples that best support this point-by -point topic sentence are:
-<em>The Dark Game presents information like a story, naturally and in chronological order</em>. By comparison with the scientific style in <em>The Code</em> <em>Book</em>, <em>The Dark Game'</em>s style is like fiction. There is a <u>chronological organization.</u>
-<em>The Code Book presents information logically, organized around central ideas.</em> The Code Book's <u>logical organization</u> is the focus in this statement.
The following statements do not exemplify the topic sentence:
- The Code Book relies on scientific terms to explain the topic. The focus is on vocabulary not on the organization of ideas.
-Paul Janeczko uses a conversational tone to engage the reader. The focus is on the writer's style and purpose.
-Simon Singh uses formal language to inform the reader. The focus is on the writer's style and purpose.
-The Dark Game uses vivid descriptions to explain people and places. The focus is on one of the writer's literary tools: descriptions.
