Question

The position of a topic sentence often shifts, according to the author and writing style. Where is one place the topic sentence should never be?

A. In the introduction
  B. In the body
  C. In the conclusion
  D. In the first paragraph

Answer 1

The topic sentence is, of course, a sentence where you state the main topic of your paper. You want people to know your topic as soon as possible. Therefore, answers A and D are obviously places you would most commonly put your topic sentence​. However, you can also put it in your body of your paper. But the one place you never want to put your topic sentence is answer C, in your conclusion paragraph.
