Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The purpose of a topic sentence in a paragraph is to express the central idea of that paragraph. It provides a clear and concise statement that guides the reader and sets the tone for the rest of the paragraph. It does not primarily serve to explain where readers can find more information or to provide evidence for the ideas in the paragraph.
