Question 8 (4 points)

Imagine that you are writing an essay with the following thesis:"Anyone driving through Pompton Clewes, a subdivision in Claxton County, could tell that the residents were wealthy."

Next you write a series of sentences in support of your thesis:
(a) Bushes pruned in the shapes of flamingoes, baseball players, and dollar signs--topiary art--could be spotted poolside.
(b) No house that we saw had room for fewer than seven bedrooms--or, perhaps, four bedrooms, an office, a queen-sized bathroom, and a sauna.
(c) The houses were designed for maximum space and luxury.
(d) Lawns were green and weed-free, like self-renewing wall-to-wall carpets.
(e) Huge bay windows displayed grand pianos and the shining, hand-wrought banisters of spiral staircases.
(f) Yards clearly enjoyed the care of professional gardeners.

All of these sentences would support your thesis logically. But two of them are broader than the others and could act as topic sentences for paragraphs in which the more specific, concrete details might be used as support. Which of the sentences in the list would make logical topic sentences for the two supporting paragraphs?
Question 8 options:

b)

C and F

c)

d)

C and E
