Weak: Not a Claim

Answer 1

The topic sentence you provided, "This next part will discuss how Diary of A Wimpy Kid became a best seller," is a **weak topic sentence**. While it indicates that the content will focus on the book's success, it does not present a strong claim or argument. A stronger topic sentence would assert a specific viewpoint or argument about why the book became a bestseller, such as mentioning its relatable characters, humor, or innovative format.
