• in 1900, andré michelin published the michelin guide—a resource for french motorists who were looking for reputable hotels and restaurants during long trips.
• the michelin group started publishing road maps for drivers in 1910.
• édouard and andré michelin used their family rubber business to develop and sell pneumatic tires for bicycles and cars.

choose the best topic sentence to introduce a paragraph containing these details.
andré michelin’s unique contributions to his family business made the michelin company a success.
the michelin brothers used a mascot known as the michelin man, or bibendum, to promote their tires and guides.
édouard and andré michelin launched a range of products aimed at motorists.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: It focuses on André's unique contributions, but the details include actions of both Édouard and André (like developing tires) and products (guides, maps) for motorists, not just André's unique contributions. So this is not a good fit.
2. Analyze the second option: The details provided do not mention anything about a mascot. So this option is irrelevant to the given details.
3. Analyze the third option: The details include the Michelin Guide (for motorists looking for hotels/restaurants), road maps (for drivers), and tires (for bicycles and cars, which can be used by motorists). All these products are aimed at motorists, and Édouard and André Michelin are the ones behind these products. So this option accurately introduces the paragraph containing these details.

Answer:

Édouard and André Michelin launched a range of products aimed at motorists.
