Answer 1

The correct option is D Each paragraph should have a topic sentence

Choice D is correct each paragraph must have a topic sentnece which explains the cause and effect. Choice A is wrong as there is no rule saying an essay must have 5 paragraphs. Choice B is wrong not every cause has an effect. Choice C is wrong as writing the effect before the cause is confusing the reader.
