Question

Which of the following does NOT hold true for a paragraph?

• A. A paragraph is a container of only one idea.
• B. A paragraph should contain a convincing conclusion.
• C. All of the ideas in each sentence of a paragraph should point to one main idea.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

None of the above.

The correct answer is Option D.

We have to identify the point that does NOT hold true for a paragraph.

Option A is the incorrect option because a paragraph concentrates on one idea only.

A convincing conclusion is a characteristic of a well-written paragraph, therefore Option B is incorrect.

While a paragraph concentrates on one main idea, it is supported by subordinate ideas. However, these subordinate ideas should ultimately support and point towards the main idea. This makes option C the incorrect option.

Hence option D- none of the above is the correct answer.
