Explanation:

1. A topic sentence is the main sentence within a paragraph which states what the paragraph is going to be about.

2. We usually write letters of consolation when someone dies and we want to express our condolences to their grieving family and friends.

3. When someone expresses fear while you are talking to them, you can manipulate that fear and affect the other person in positive or negative ways (depending on your motivation).

4. Courtesy is politeness, which is obviously important when you are speaking to others, especially if it's a formal situation.

5. Tympanic membrane is just a medical term for ear drum.

6. In speech, when you have authority, that means that you have researched your data properly and are fully prepared for your speech/presentation. People will believe your words because you will seem confident and qualified.

7. An outline is what you write before actually writing - this is where you will brainstorm your ideas and think about what your text will be about, will look like, will contain, etc.

8. You should never introduce a new idea in your conclusion - what the conclusion should have is a restatement of what has already been said.

9. A loose sentence in grammar is a sentence that contains an independent clause and other modifying elements after the subject, predicate, and object.

10. Cochlea is a part of your ear that looks like a snail shell and enables you to hear properly.
