Writing Workshop: Researching an Agency

Question 7 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

Read this excerpt from the body paragraphs of an informative essay.The Secret Service guards government leaders and protects money. The agency also investigates financial crimes.How could this excerpt be improved as the writer revises the essay?

Answer
A
The writer could focus on a different federal agency instead.
B
The writer could include more details and factual support.
C
The writer could add a statement that sets up the topic.
D
The writer could add a summary to restate the topic.

Explanation

The excerpt names several Secret Service duties, but it gives no examples or supporting facts to explain them. Adding specific details, such as what kinds of financial crimes the agency investigates, would make the body paragraphs more informative. A summary or a statement introducing the topic would belong elsewhere in the essay, not as an improvement to these body paragraphs.
