I think in your introduction.
<span>In "Through the Tunnel," the negative connotations and dangerous imagery associated with the "wild bay" help to convey the theme that growing up can be a painful and scary process. Jerry longs to grow up and to fit in with the "older boys -- men to Jerry" who swim and dive at the wild bay rather than remain on the "safe beach" with his mother, a beach later described as "a place for children." The way to the wild bay is marked with "rough, sharp rock" and the water shows "stains of purple and darker blue." The rocks sound as if they could do a great deal of damage to the body, and the stains are described like a bruise. It sounds painful. Then, "rocks lay like discoloured monsters under the surface" of the water and "irregular cold currents from the deep shocked [Jerry's] limbs." This place sounds frightening and alarming and unpredictable. Given that this is the location associated with maturity, with the time after childhood, we can understand that the process of growing up and becoming a man is a time that is fraught with dangers and fear, because Jerry endures both in the "wild bay."</span>
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.

Explanation:
Answer:
A!
Explanation:
When you choose a topic sentence, it needs to focus on the overall idea of the paragraph, not just one idea or a small bit of info. Topic sentences in informational pieces must be neutral as well because you are not trying to write an opinionated piece, you are trying to teach the reader.
Hope this helped!
