One could write an entire essay around this sentence. The better topic sentence would be to define a particular aspect of the weather and go from there. In addition, certain seasons could be compared to specific seasons or weather conditions.
5. If the thesis is weak, the paper could go in many different directions and the result could be a poorly defended thesis. In addition, a weak thesis might not even describe the correct definition of the paper. The thesis needs to be strong so that each paragraph can defend it without the paragraph feeling lost or off-topic. A carefully crafted thesis statement will guide the writer. In addition, a strong thesis will make the writing process easier because it is focused.
6. A good topic sentence but weak support indicates that the proof is not as strong as it could be. In this situation, I would look at my evidence and look for ways to be more convincing. I would make sure that each paragraph supported the thesis and did not veer off the subject. I would look at the outline and see where the paper is weak. It would also be a good idea to start over with the thesis on a blank document and try to rewrite the outline with better/different evidence. I would also step back from the paper and consider questions about why I decided to write the paper and if this even comes across in the paper. Other things to consider are if the topic is too broad or too narrow because each of these errors can result in a paper that is too flimsy because of a lack of evidence or too weighted down with too many facts.

7. The fundamental rule for subject-verb agreement is compromised when subjects and verb are separated from each other in a sentence. This is especially true when prepositional phrases are present.
