1a.) What sentence is thetopic sentence of the paragraph?
A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape fromthe everyday pressures of life.
When looking for the topic ofa paragraph, it’s best to look at the beginning of the paragraph because,typically, the topic of the paragraph will be presented within the first coupleof sentences. Too, because the bodysentences should really be development of the topic, the topic sentence will bea general statement and body sentences will tend to get more specific. When looking the first sentence, we see thatit is a broad statement upon which the rest of the sentences elaborate.
1b.) What sentence is unrelated to the topicand can be eliminated?
You should always be careful to avoidoverexposure to the sun at the beach.
Because all the sentencesdiscuss relaxation in one fashion or another, and this sentence discusses thepotential of sun burn/skin damage, this sentence would be considered off topicbecause it is not developing the topic sentence.
