question directly, linked to the question, usually the first sentence, puts the
paragraph on-topic
Supporting sentences

An excellent source of synonyms

character

fight?, challenge
governor, head, leader,
official
TS: Maylin, the
protagonist in “Roses Sing on New Snow”, challenged the governor from South
