Explanation:
I have been able to correctly arrange the sentences in the correct order.
I was able to detect the topic sentence due the unique way it was stated from the rest. First idea started with "First", which shows that the sentence is the first idea that was stated. Then "Next" is the second idea because it shows that it follows the first idea. I was able to know third idea because it follows what the third idea stated.
The above arrangement is correct.
