To review a topic sentence, the following criteria should be considered:
1. **The topic sentence is neither too specific or too general.**
2. **The topic sentence is closely related to the thesis statement.**
3. **The topic sentence states the main idea of the paragraph.**
4. **The topic sentence is supported by details in the paragraph.**
The second option, "The topic sentence is written in the form of a question," is generally not a standard criterion for reviewing topic sentences, as topic sentences are typically declarative statements that state the main idea rather than questions.
