Question

Choose whether true or false:
The main purpose of a body paragraph is to spell out in detail the examples that support your thesis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Each body paragraph has a topic sentence, which tells readers what your paragraph is going to be about and what you want to say about your topic. Such paragraphs are called middle paragraphs in the essay which have supporting sentences that discuss the idea in the topic sentence.

For eg., One of the challenges that are unique to space is the fact that space is a vacuum, which is a risk for various reasons. This topic sentence tells readers that the paragraph that follows it will be about one of the challenges that is unique to space: the fact that it is a vacuum and the reasons why that vacuum is a risk factor.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
