A sonnet is a poem consisting of FOURTEEN lines.
1. The topic sentence in the passage is underlined as follows: "Quilt making has ... expression for women."
- The topic sentence discusses the role of quilt making in enabling women to self-express themselves.
2. The material that does not clarify or develop the central idea is: "They used dyed cotton fabrics ...; surprisingly, ... years."
- This statement has no relevance to the topic sentence. It digresses from the main topic to discuss the materials used for quilting instead of concentrating on the social, political, and artistic significance that quilting generates for women, as captured in the topic sentence.
Thus, the topic sentence captures the main idea of the passage. Other sentences help to develop and support the main idea.
