Check Your Own Essay Paragraph for a Missing Argument

The gap between a passing paragraph and a good one is usually one missing sentence that actually makes the point. This checks whether your paragraph argues anything at all, whether your evidence is doing real work, and points to the exact spot where the argument goes missing, with a suggested fix.

<task>
1. Read {INPUT} and identify whether it contains a clear claim, or whether it just describes facts without saying what they prove.
2. If there is a claim, check whether the evidence given actually supports it, or just sits nearby without being connected.
3. Point out, in plain terms, the exact sentence where the paragraph should be making its point but is not.
4. Suggest one sentence that would fix the gap, without rewriting the whole paragraph.
