Aparagraph whose topic sentence comes in mid-paragraph is said to have a shape.

diamond
square
rectangle
triangle

The correct answer is A. Dimond

Explanation:

It is common most paragraphs include a topic sentence or sentence that states the content of the paragraph, different supporting details that explain and develop the topic sentence and in some cases a conclusion sentence that serves as a closure to the paragraph. Additionally, the topic sentence is considered as the more general elements in a paragraph and because of this, it is represented with a long line while the supporting details narrow this idea and therefore form a triangle.

This means, in the case of the topic sentence appearing at the beginning of the paragraph this is represented using an hourglass or inverted triangle shape as the topic sentence is broad, then the details narrow the sentence and finally the conclusion or restatement of the topic sentence broaden the topic again. However, when the topic sentence is in the middle rather than at the beginning a diamond shape is formed as the paragraph begins with specific details, then it broadens to a general topic (topic sentence) and once again it becomes narrow with further details. Therefore, a paragraph whose topic sentence comes in mid-paragraph is said to have a diamond shape.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
