That roller coaster is dangerous.
The best supporting details for the above topic sentence is ...
It is slower than any other roller coaster in the state. The curves of its track are so wide and the hills are so shallow that a ride on this roller coaster seems like a drive in the country. People don’t scream when they ride it. Instead, they enjoy the view from above the park.
It is known as one of the best roller coasters in the country. People will wait in lines for hours just to try it. At certain points it reaches the same speeds as cars do on highways. The track is so tall and long that you can see it miles away.
Last year, it broke down several times, leaving people stranded in their cars sixty feet off the ground. In most cars, the seat belts are torn and don’t always buckle properly. One area of the track shakes and makes a strange grinding sound whenever a car passes over it.

Margo is a very rude worker.
The best supporting details for the above topic sentence are ...
She can barely stay awake while at work. Almost every day, she arrives at the store a few minutes late, having slept till the last minute. She works in slow motion, and it takes her so long to do any one thing that people never ask for her help. If she didn’t spend the day pumping herself full of caffeine, she probably would not be able to move at all.
She keeps customers waiting while she talks with a coworker. When someone asks her about a sale item, she snaps, “If it isn’t on the shelf, we don’t have it!” When her boss isn’t watching her, she answers the telephone by saying, “Yeah, what do you want?”
She can answer the phone, ring up a customer’s purchases, and count large amounts of money all at the same time. She often volunteers to help customers bring their bags to their cars. She does not mind taking time to answer a customer’s question or help someone stock a shelf.
