Step-by-step explanation:

The topic sentence states the idea of the paragraph. Not the "main idea." That's confusing. There is only one idea per paragraph, not a "main idea" and several others. All the other sentences in the paragraph are detail sentences. Their purpose is to show, prove, and explain the idea stated by the topic sentence.

Answer:

A topic sentence is a sentence that introduces a paragraph by presenting the one topic that will be the focus of that paragraph. Just like the thesis statement gives the main idea of the paper at the essay level, the topic sentence gives the main idea at the paragraph level.
