Explanation:

A paragraph is a group of connected, well-organized sentences that all address a single theme. The term "paragraph" refers to the well-organized division of a lengthy essay or topic into manageable paragraph-length pieces. A paragraph should contain no more than three to five lines, at the most. It includes topic sentences, sentences that provide context for those sentences, and sentences that wrap up the overall structure, which is a collection of sentences that all address the same subject.

Writing a paragraph involves more than just stating your opinion about the subject in a few sentences.
