13.  Below is the second paragraph from a five paragraph essay about sloths. Read the paragraph and choose the best topic sentence for it.                                                                     Sloths have long claws that let them easily grip tree branches and hang upside down. In fact, sloths' claws make walking on the ground very difficult for them, and they're clumsy on land. Sloths can sleep upside-down for up to 18 hours at a time. Algae grows on sloths' fur, which camouflages the sloths and allows them to blend into the trees. Their diets include tree leaves, shoots and fruit.

• Sloths are very humorous creatures.
• Sloths use camouflage to avoid predators.
• Sloths are well-suited for their lives in the rainforest trees.
