Read the introduction from an argumentative essay about national parks. Most people who visit national parks are likely focused on the experience of visiting natural wonders. However, they may not realize how much time, money, and effort are necessary to maintain these parks. National parks must be preserved. How could the writer strengthen the claim in this introduction?

The claim is that national parks must be preserved, but the introduction does not yet give reasons or facts to support it. Adding evidence—such as information about the resources needed to maintain parks or the benefits they provide—would make the claim more convincing. A topic sentence or discussion of different parks would not directly support the claim.
