Solution

failed
Answer

The answer is C. Our basketball team is better than the rival team for three reasons.

Explanation
Option A: Our basketball team outplayed our rivals at last night's game.

This sentence is specific to a single event and does not set up a paragraph that would illustrate or provide examples of a broader point.

Option B: Last night at the basketball game, our team played better than our rivals, except for two plays.

This sentence is also specific to a particular game and includes a detail that might not lead to a broader illustration paragraph.

Option C: Our basketball team is better than the rival team for three reasons.

This sentence introduces a general statement that can be supported with specific examples or illustrations, making it suitable as a topic sentence for an illustration paragraph.

Option D: Basketball games are so fun.

While this sentence expresses an opinion, it is too broad and lacks a clear direction for an illustration paragraph. It does not specify what aspects of basketball games are fun, which would be necessary for an illustration paragraph.
