Which of the above topics fits the following paragraph?
As
soon as many students come through the door from school, they hurry to the
kitchen looking for a snack. A
favorite after-school snack is chips with some sort of dip. Some students prefer corn chips such as Doritos with
salsa. Others would rather have potato chips with a dip. Students looking for a healthier
alternative might go with pita chips served with hummus, or simpler yet, dried
banana chips. Recently you can
also find other vegetable chips, including sweet potato chips. Whichever sort of chips they are, these snacks help students
satisfy their appetite enough to wait for dinner. The students might even get some homework done while
they wait for their evening meal, such as writing this paragraph about _____?_____.
