Alina wrote this sentence for an argumentative essay claiming that the Industrial Revolution had a negative impact. One reason for the negative impact is the way children were treated, working long hours in dangerous conditions for very low wages. As she organizes her body paragraph, where should Alina place this sentence?

The sentence introduces a specific reason supporting the essay’s claim: children faced long hours, dangerous conditions, and low wages. In a body paragraph, the topic statement comes first, followed by reasons and supporting evidence. So Alina should place this sentence after the topic statement, before the evidence that supports it.
