Next, you will write your essay. Note that your essay should be divided into paragraphs with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each paragraph will deal with one main idea and include a topic sentence and supporting details. Recall that the topic sentence introduces the main idea of the paragraph, and it is usually placed at the beginning of the paragraph. The topic sentence also unifies all the main points of the passage and gives it direction. Supporting details explain or expand the main idea. They include facts, examples, or statements that support the main idea of the paragraph. Write a five- to seven-paragraph essay in the space provided.

Which revision, if any, best fixes the bolded (capitalized in this case) part of the sentence? female cardinals, a somewhat drab bird compared to the males, blend in well with their environment. no change somewhat drab birds a somewhat drab's bird somewhat drab bird's
