The answer is C. It does say in the passage that it can focus on emotion, and it does. But C would be the answer because most of the passage is trying to tell us how much skill and dedication that someone needs to have to be able to master the art of ballet.

A topic sentence is the sentence that summarizes the main idea of the paragraph and organizes it, so it is usually the first sentence of the paragraph -although it does not have to be.

In this case, since it provides a brief introduction to what the author develops in the paragraph, the topic sentence that best applies to this passage is:

C.) Ballet is a performance dance that requires great skill and dedication.
