Answer: Topic Sentence
Explanation:
The Topic sentence contains the idea that the whole paragraph is centered on. It is in the topic sentence that the leader gets a grasp of what is going on and then reads the support sentences to find out an elaboration of this sentence. For this reason it is usually the first sentence though not always.
