Maria's topic sentence is "My family prepares for holidays in a big way." Which of the following would be the best supporting detail to follow that sentence?

  1. First we decide who is going to host the holiday dinner

  2. Holidays are important to us

  3. Family gatherings can be stressful

  4. Everyone loves holidays

The correct answer is: First we decide who is going to host the holiday dinner

The choice of "First we decide who is going to host the holiday dinner" effectively supports Maria's topic sentence, "My family prepares for holidays in a big way," by providing a specific action that illustrates how her family prepares for holidays. This detail outlines a concrete step in the preparation process, demonstrating the effort and organization involved in their holiday celebrations. By including this detail, Maria adds clarity and depth to her statement about the significant way her family engages in holiday preparations, allowing readers to understand specifics rather than generalities. The other options, while related to the overarching theme of holidays, do not provide the same level of support for the topic sentence. They either offer more generalized observations or do not directly contribute to explaining the preparation process that the topic sentence highlights.
