Question

Select a suitable topic sentence for the given topic:
The effect of T.V. on children.

• A. T.V. can help improve a child's imagination.
• B. Television may adversely affect a person's health.
• C. T.V. has both positive and negative effects on a child's behavior.
• D. Children these days watch a lot of television.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

T.V. can help improve a child's imagination.
T.V. has both positive and negative effects on a child's behavior.

The correct topic lines that can suit the given topic are Option A and Option C. Both the sentences give an overview on the effects of television on children. Once the paragraph proceeds the specific effects can be mentioned. Option B is incorrect as it is too specific and points to only one possibility in which the paragraph can be built. Option D is too general and thus does not suit to be a correct topic sentence.
