Read the excerpt below from the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Analyze the chart and answer the question that follows.Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, “Don’t put your feet up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry—set up straight;” and pretty soon she would say, “Don’t gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry—why don’t you try to behave?” Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn’t mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn’t particular. She said it was wicked to say what I said; said she wouldn’t say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn’t do no good.

Which of the following is the appropriate way to note the topic sentence of a paragraph on an outline? 2. Your name on the team’s uniforms will benefit your business. C. Your name on the team’s uniforms will benefit your business. III. Your name on the team’s uniforms will benefit your business. I. Topic Sentence 1. Support for Topic Sentence none of the above

Answers

"III. Your name on the team’s uniforms will benefit your business" would be the best way to note the topic sentence of a paragraph on an outline, since this is usually done with Roman numerals. 

Usually this observation is done in Roman numerals, so the alternative that fits best and therefore is the answer of your question is "III. Your name on the team's uniforms will benefit your business". However, I believe that the other options would not change the meaning or make it difficult to interpret a text.
