TEXAS EOC English I Developing Expository Ideas

Question 6 • AISD English I A CR (Summer 25-26)

Based on the topic sentence, which detail would need additional development to support the topic clearly?Topic sentence: Friends will often model their behavior on yours.

Answer

If you make good decisions, such as always buckling your seat belt when you are in a car with friends, those friends are more likely to take safety seriously too.

When I raised my school average by ten points, two of my friends were inspired to study harder and do the same, which made me realize I had inspired them to work hard too.

A lot of members of our team used to dive when someone went to slide tackle them until I spoke up and said it annoyed me that another team was doing it too.

Explanation

The topic sentence says friends will model their behavior on yours, so the detail should clearly show friends copying your actions. Choice A gives a clear example of friends taking safety seriously after seeing you buckle your seat belt. Choice B shows friends studying harder after your example. Choice C says you spoke up about diving, but it does not explain whether your teammates changed their behavior as a result, so that detail needs additional development.
