Video games can kill! that is what many who support legislation banning violent titles from underage players have stated. these supporters of video game reform cite studies that show increased statistics of violence among children who play games regularly at home. opponents of this reform, however, have expressed doubts about the validity of the studies, requesting that further research be done before a dramatic statement is made about all gamers. it seems that the rising popularity of video games among youth has spiked a political debate that may last for several more years to come.

which sentence from this paragraph is the topic sentence?

"Video games can kill!" is the main topic or the topic sentence of the paragraph. How did I find this? (you might not probably ask but I will do it anyways) Well first of all, it is the beginning sentence of the paragraph making it obvious. And the other sentences besides this one are facts or reasons or proof or evidence or whatever you want to call it.

Hope this helps!  :)
