    Perhaps city residents and wild animals were never meant to go together, even in
    zoo. Recently a visitor to a large city zoo, ignoring all fences and warning signs
    put his arm into the cage of a six-year-old polar bear. Perhaps the man wanted to
    feed the bear, or touch him, or even tease him. But the bear, basically the citizen
    of the wilds, almost instantly sprang forward and sank his teeth into the man’s
    hand. As the man screamed for help, and the bear’s keeper tried to get the bear
    under control, the bear sucked in more of the man’s arm. Finally, a policeman had
    to shoot and kill the bear so that the man’s arm could be released—which it was.
    Thus, there was the killing of a polar bear and the wounding of a city denizen.,
    two animals who were meant to be residents of their own worlds, not each other’s.
    a. Extract the topic sentence in the paragraph above.
    b. Is there more than one main idea in this paragraph?
    c. In your own words explain why the incident supports the topic sentence.
