To answer this question, we need to understand what the topic of a piece of informational writing refers to. The topic is the subject or focus of the writing. It is what the writer is discussing or providing information about.

Now, let's look at the answer choices:

1. the way the writer feels about the subject: This option is incorrect because it refers to the writer's emotions or opinions about the subject, which is not the same as the topic itself.

2. the way information is grouped: This option is incorrect because it describes the organization or structure of the writing, but not the actual topic.

3. the meanings of words: This option is also incorrect because it refers to the definition or interpretation of words, which is not the same as the main subject or focus of the writing.

4. the subject or focus: This option is correct because it accurately defines the topic of a piece of informational writing as the subject or focus that the writer is discussing or providing information about.

Therefore, the correct answer is "the subject or focus."
