Question

Jalen is writing a paragraph about his experience at an adventure camp. Below is his topic sentence.

Answer 1

Answer:

Adventure camp is where you get to do exciting things you’ve never done before.

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

• Adventure camp is where you get to do exciting things you’ve never done before.
• I fell off a horse, got a rash from touching poison ivy, and was homesick most of the time.
• Even though at first I had fun, I got homesick when I was injured while rafting.
• Next year at adventure camp, I will be more careful when I go rafting.

The topic sentence of a paragraph is its most important sentence. It summarizes the information the rest of the paragraph contains, and it's usually the first sentence.

The sentence that best refines Jalen's topic sentence is the first one: Adventure camp is where you get to do exciting things you’ve never done before.  The rest of the sentences are details about Jalen's time at the adventure camp, which is why they are not suitable to be the topic sentence.
