Which of these choices is the BEST topic sentence for this paragraph? The night before, the forecasts said there would be strong storms. When I awoke, Mom told me school was cancelled. I looked out the window, and saw debris everywhere. A tree limb had even fallen on our car. My sister and I went outside and started cleaning up the yard.

In the midst of Spring, our town had one very massive thunderstorm.

Spring is my favorite season, because I enjoy playing outside.

Before this huge storm, my school had not had a day off all year.

Although weather forecasters are usually right, their predictions can be wrong.
