You have read Kaitlyn Greenidge’s personal narrative “My Mother’s Garden”. The story ends by telling the reader that she returned to the prep school the following September. Write a continuation of Greenidge’s story the following school year. Consider the school setting and her home situation. Create an obstacle that she faces and how she overcomes the challenge. You may add additional characters and events to make the story more interesting. Your story should be fictional but based on factual details from the passage.

True

Explanation:

A thesis statement is one sentence that expresses the main idea of a research paper or essay. It tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper. It usually appears at the conclusion of the introductory paragraph.

A topic sentence is a sentence that tells the reader what a paragraph will be about. It's the most important sentence of a paragraph, and it's usually its first sentence.

When we compare these two definitions, we can see that the purpose of topic sentences and a thesis statement is similar - to summarize and reveal to the readers what a piece of writing (an essay/paper or paragraph) will be about. This is why we can say that the given statement is true.
