Question

10. Supporting details can do all of the following except

A. explain how to make or do something.
B. describe a person, place, or thing.
C. introduce the main idea.
D. support a point of view or opinion. />

Answer 1

The correct answer would be C. introduce the main idea. They are called supporting precisely because they can only support the main idea, and not introduce it. They can add details to help the reader understand the main idea or the context better. But they can never have the leading role in a text.
