Choose: examples, incidents, and reasons.
- Examples — concrete cases or illustrations that clarify and support the topic sentence (e.g., “For instance, many cities have cut crime by…”).
- Incidents — short anecdotes or specific events that make the point memorable and show the idea in action.
- Reasons — logical explanations that show why the claim is true or important (each reason can become a supporting paragraph).
Why not the others: emotions and biases are appeals or predispositions rather than solid development methods; opinions can be used, but they’re strongest when labeled as expert opinion and supported by reasons, examples, or data.
