6. The topic sentence of this paragraph is

A. Sentence 2.
B. Sentence 1.
C. Sentence 8.
D. Sentence 9.

sentence 1

It has to be sentence 1, because it tells you what the topic of the paragraph is gonna be. By stating

"Making rice pudding can be very easy", they are implying about making rice pudding which was the topic of the whole paragraph, how to make rice pudding.

The topic sentence is the sentence that introduces the main idea or central theme of the paragraph. To determine the topic sentence in this paragraph, we can analyze each sentence and identify which one presents the main idea.

In this case, the main idea is about making rice pudding, so we are looking for a sentence that introduces or summarizes the process of making it.

Sentence 1 mentions that making rice pudding can be very easy, but it does not provide any specific information about the process.

Sentence 2 provides specific instructions on what ingredients and equipment to gather, which is an important step in the process, but it does not capture the main idea of making rice pudding.

Sentence 8 mentions serving the pudding warm or cold, which is not the main idea either.

Sentence 9 is the concluding sentence that encourages the reader to enjoy the treat, but it does not necessarily present the main idea of the paragraph.

Therefore, the sentence that best captures the main idea or topic of making rice pudding is Sentence 6. It introduces the step of adding beaten egg, sugar, and vanilla, which is a crucial part of the process.

So, the answer is:

C. Sentence 6.

A. Sentence 2
