summary of the research paper

Answer 2

Summary of the research paper is not a component of an effective supporting paragraph. Option D is correct.

The supporting sentences which are also known as the body of the paragraph, are used in an attempt to support, explain, illustrate, or provide evidence for the idea or point of view stated in the topic sentence.

Support paragraphs generally work together to explain the main idea of a story, an essay, or a section of a business or technical report.
