Can you please tell me if the sentence in quotation marks is the topic sentence? I read paragraph one and paragraph three, I believe that paragraph one was a very effective paragraph. "It touches a few very interesting points about why someone should create a Living Will". It explains in detail that everyone needs a Will and why. This is especially important to me because of the way that my family has handled our loved ones personal things after they have passed away. I personally think that the writer could have smoothed their sentences out more this particular paragraph is a bit choppy and all over the place.
As I explained in my previous posts for you, that sentence is NOT the topic sentence.

Ms. Sue...this paragraph is not the same, it's a little bit different.
I know. But my remarks in the previous posts are still true of this paragraph.
A topic sentence tells the reader what the paragraph is about. You provided no support for the first sentence. You didn't show us the interesting points.
Also -- please read the paragraph about living wills.
To determine if the sentence in quotation marks is the topic sentence, we need to understand what a topic sentence is.
A topic sentence is a sentence that expresses the main idea or focus of a paragraph. It usually comes at the beginning of a paragraph, and the other sentences in the paragraph provide details, examples, or explanations to support or develop that main idea.
In the provided paragraph, the sentence in quotation marks is: "It touches a few very interesting points about why someone should create a Living Will."
This sentence is a statement that highlights the main idea or focus of the paragraph. It indicates that the paragraph discusses the reasons why someone should create a Living Will.
Therefore, yes, the sentence in quotation marks "It touches a few very interesting points about why someone should create a Living Will" is the topic sentence in this paragraph.
