Question

A brief sentence which sums up what the paragraph was about


A brief introductory sentence of what the paragraph will be about


The arguments, examples and support for each paragraph


Supporting ideas for each paragraph


Main ideas for each paragraph

Answer 1

Supporting sentences contain:

• The arguments, examples and support for each paragraph
• Supporting ideas for each paragraph

Supporting sentences typically expand on the main idea of the paragraph and provide evidence or elaboration to clarify, illustrate, or support that main idea. They do not summarize the paragraph or state what it will be about, which is typically the role of topic sentences.
