Answer 1

Hello! Brain.ly does not permit us to write your assignments for you, I believe, but we can help!

The topic sentence is "A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life."

You would also eliminate the last sentence that warns you to avoid long sun exposure. That does not support our main idea that going to the beach is good for you.

The term cliché means something that is overused or not original. It can also mean a stereotype. 

Hope this still helps! Have a nice day :)
