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.

I have dwelt upon the greatness of Athens because I want to show you that we are contending for a higher prize than those who en
anastassius [24]

The paragraph selected here is a passage from Pericle's Funeral Oration, said during a public funeral for those deceased during war. The funeral oration is longer than what is presented here and dwells into what makes Athens special, such as its democratic nature and the character of its people.

The passage mentions the greatness of Athens, as to show what is at stake if war is lost. Then, it remembers those who died defending Athens and moves on to encourage its citizens to continue fighting for its city.

The whole point of the speech is to boost the morale of the attending citizens and to encourage their support on the war effort. From the paragraph selected here, we can deduce that the main idea is <u>1 - People who live in Athens are fighting to protect their privilieged way of life.</u>
