Yes, you're correct. The topic sentence is usually the sentence that expresses the main idea of a paragraph. It typically appears at the beginning of the paragraph and sets the tone or direction for the rest of the sentences in that paragraph. By identifying the topic sentence, you can gain a clear understanding of the main point or focus of the paragraph.

Main ideas are often found:

at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage.
in the concluding sentences of a paragraph. The main idea can be expressed as a summation of the information in the paragraph as well as a link to the information in the next paragraph.

The link is working.

This pargraph is from it:
"Find the topic first. You have to know the topic before you can determine the main idea. Preview
your text and ask yourself, “What or who is the article about ” or “What is the author teaching me
about ” (For further help, see Identifying the Topic skill sheet.)"

A thesaurus is a reference tool or resource that provides synonyms (words with similar meanings) and sometimes antonyms (words with opposite meanings) for a given word or phrase. It is designed to help writers, students, and language users find alternative words or expressions to enhance their writing or expand their vocabulary.

Thesauruses typically list words in alphabetical order and group them according to their similarities in meaning. They often provide definitions or brief explanations to ensure proper usage. Thesauruses can be found in various formats, such as printed books, online websites, and integrated features within word processing software.

By using a thesaurus, individuals can find alternative words that may better convey their intended meaning, avoid repetition, or add variety to their writing. However, it's important to use a thesaurus judiciously and consider the context and connotations of the suggested words to ensure they are appropriate for the desired expression.
