Read the thesis statement from an argumentative essay.Though a child of humble beginnings, Leonardo da Vinci grew to become perhaps the greatest genius of all time. He is famed as a pioneer in the realms of art, science, and mathematics, among others.Which of the following would best work as a paragraph topic sentence?
Answer
A
Da Vinci’s genius is universally acknowledged today.
B
The fame of da Vinci springs from his genius.
C
The fact that da Vinci used assistants does not diminish his genius.
D
Da Vinci produced several great works of art.
Explanation
The thesis says that da Vinci became a great genius and was famed in several fields, including art. A paragraph topic sentence should introduce a specific point that supports this broader claim. “Da Vinci produced several great works of art” gives a focused point that could be supported with examples; the other choices are less directly tied to the thesis or introduce an unrelated issue.
