1 answer

The correct order for a body paragraph is as follows:

  1. Topic Sentence/Claim - This introduces the main idea or assertion of the paragraph.
  2. Evidence/Example - This provides specific data, quotes, or examples that support the claim made in the topic sentence.
  3. Analysis/Explanation - This interprets the evidence, explains its significance, and connects it back to the topic sentence to reinforce the argument.

This structure helps create a cohesive and persuasive body paragraph.
