Respuesta :
The body features of the hippopotamus are a deadly combination.
The introduction states that "Hippopotamuses are the most dangerous animals in Africa." Because the topic sentence says that they are dangerous, it would not make sense to repeat that idea as the topic sentence. The sentence about hippopotamuses being a vegetarian and it catching food easily does not seem to make much sense. Vegetarians do not usually need to catch their food, since plants don't run. Also this sentence does not show how hippopotamuses are dangerous. The last option is informal and would not be appropriate in any essay. The option about the body features being a deadly combination is correct because it connects the introduction to the more specific supporting details about the hippopotamuses jaws and teeth.
On the basis of supporting details that are provided, the topic sentence that is most likely to be read would be:
B). The body features of the hippopotamus are a deadly combination.
- 'Topic Sentence' is described as the statement that briefly states the central idea associated with the paragraph in a very clear, precise, and effective manner.
- In the given paragraph, the topic sentence would be "The body... deadly combination" which is clearly reflected through the details like 'Jaws...bite...one ton...pressure,' 'Teeth...stronger,' 'cause death...different ways,' etc.
- These details demonstrate that the entire paragraph is surrounded towards describing how various body features together form a lethal combination that can be dangerous for many.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
