Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The topic sentence is the first - "Seoul, the capital of Korea, is a very fascinating place." It sets the main idea of the paragraph.
  2. Transition words in the supporting sentences are not clearly present in a traditional sense here. But if we consider "One example" as a kind of transition, we can circle it.
  3. A concluding sentence could summarize the idea that Seoul combines old and new elements. So we can write "In conclusion, Seoul's blend of ancient palaces and modern skyscrapers makes it a truly unique and fascinating city."

Answer:

  1. Seoul, the capital of Korea, is a very fascinating place.
  2. (If considering "One example") One example
  3. In conclusion, Seoul's blend of ancient palaces and modern skyscrapers makes it a truly unique and fascinating city.
