Question

(1) Skyscrapers surrounded us as we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. (2) The streets were like canyons of concrete and steel. (3) I really wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty. (4) New York City was very different than the flat plains of my native Nebraska.

Which sentence does not support the paragraph’s topic sentence?


sentence 4


sentence 2


sentence 3


sentence 1

Answer 1

Sentence 2 doesnt not support. Every other sentence talks about skyscrapers but sentence 2

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is "sentence 3"

Explanation: By reading the paragraph it is easy to notice that the main topic of the text is to describe New York City in comparison to Nebraska. Sentence 3 states the author's desire to visit the Statue of Liberty, an affirmation that does not support the main topic of the text.
