1 / -0

Which of the following is a salient feature of a strong paragraph?

A
The length of the paragraph.

B
It contains one main idea or topic.

C
The topic.

D
The writer's vocabulary.

Solution

The correct answer is Option B
The question is on the salient or most important feature of a strong paragraph.
The length of a paragraph in no way contributes to its strength. A paragraph should be comprehensive. Therefore, Option A is the incorrect option.
A paragraph can be written on any topic. It is thus not a feature of a paragraph - making option C the incorrect option.
Similarly, the writer's vocabulary does not really contribute to the making of a strong paragraph if the writing is not comprehensive or the idea expressed in the paragraph is not unified. This makes option D incorrect.
A strong paragraph contains one main idea supported by supportive ideas. This unity is an essential feature of paragraph writing. Hence option B is the correct answer.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which of the following is NOT a part of writing a paragraph?

A
Reading the topic

B
Introduction

C
Conclusion

D
None of the above

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
The question is identification of the steps NOT involved in paragraph writing.
Options A, B and C are important steps in paragraph writing. To write a paragraph we first read the topic, then write the introduction which starts the paragraph and then conclude the paragraph by summing up the ideas expressed in the paragraph.
Therefore, option D -none of the above is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Which of the following does NOT hold true for a paragraph?

A
A paragraph is a container of only one idea.

B
A paragraph should contain a convincing conclusion.

C
All of the ideas in each sentence of a paragraph should point to one main idea.

D
None of the above.

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
We have to identify the point that does NOT hold true for a paragraph.
Option A is the incorrect option because a paragraph concentrates on one idea only.
A convincing conclusion is a characteristic of a well-written paragraph, therefore Option B is incorrect.
While a paragraph concentrates on one main idea, it is supported by subordinate ideas. However, these subordinate ideas should ultimately support and point towards the main idea. This makes option C the incorrect option.
Hence option D- none of the above is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

While writing a paragraph, what immediately follows the main idea?

A
The conclusion

B
Illustration of the main idea

C
Revision of the paragraph

D
None of the above

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
The conclusion ends the paragraph by summing up the ideas expressed.
This is followed by the revision of the paragraph to look for any kind of error and ensure that the unity of the paragraph is maintained. This is the last step in paragraph writing.
Hence Option A and C are incorrect.
After the main idea, a writer has to illustrate upon it by explaining and providing suitable examples. Therefore Option B - illustration of the main idea is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

The controlling idea of a paragraph is -

A
The idea that focuses on the topic by giving direction to the composition.

B
The main subject matter covered in the paragraph.

C
The conclusion of a paragraph.

D
The first line of a paragraph.

Solution

The correct answer is Option A
The question is on the definition of the controlling idea of a paragraph.
The controlling idea contains your opinion on the topic. It shows what direction you are going to take in writing about the topic. It helps the reader to understand your purpose for writing the paragraph.
It is not a particular line in the paragraph. Hence Option D is incorrect.
The conclusion of a paragraph ends the paragraph by summarizing the ideas expressed in it. Option C is therefore not the correct answer.
Option B is also incorrect because actually the main subject matter covered in the paragraph depends on the controlling idea. The main subject is in accordance with the direction of the composition of paragraph.
So, according to the definition mentioned above, Option A is the correct answer.
The controlling idea of a paragraph is the idea that focuses on the topic by giving direction to the composition.
Question 9
1 / -0

The concluding sentence helps to impress the reader only if -

A
It binds the argument together

B
It rephrases the main topic

C
It guides the reader regarding the information given in the paragraph

D
Both A and C

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
The concluding sentence of a paragraph should be impressive to the reader.
It should not be a mere repetition or a re-phrasal of the main topic. Hence option B is the incorrect option.
An effective concluding sentence is one that binds the argument of the paragraph together and also helps the reader to understand the information given in the paragraph i.e. it acts as a guide to the reader.
Hence option 'D' ( Both A and C) is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

In paragraph writing, we support our topic sentence with the following, except:

A
Examples

B
Statistical data

C
Details

D
Topic sentence

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
After mentioning the main idea of the paragraph, the next step that follows is the illustration of the topic and the main idea. This is done by providing supporting explanation through examples, statistical data and other supporting details. Thus, option A, B, and C are the incorrect options since the question is what is NOT a part of the illustration of the topic.
The topic sentence (Option D) is the directing force of the paragraph and not a part of the illustration of the topic. Hence Option D is the correct option.
