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?

The excerpt lists several duties of the Secret Service but gives no examples, explanations, or evidence to support those points. Adding specific details and factual support would make the body paragraphs more informative. A summary or topic-setting statement would fit better in other parts of the essay, and changing agencies would not improve this excerpt.
