restated evidence.
restated evidence.

Answer 1

Correct choices: a clear direction and clear examples.

Explanation:
- Body paragraphs should start with a topic sentence that gives a clear direction (one main idea per paragraph).
- They should include clear examples/evidence to support that idea, plus analysis explaining how the evidence supports the thesis.
- The thesis statement belongs in the introduction, not each body paragraph.
- Rather than merely "restating evidence," you should present evidence and then interpret or analyze it.
