Which sentence in this body paragraph most clearly presents supporting

details or evidence?
(1) The first detail that predicts the main character's death in "To Build
a Fire' is his ego. (2) He is simply too full of himself to survive in the
Alaskan wildemess. (3) For example, early in the story, he makes fun of
the old man who warns him not to be outside when the temperature
goes below a certain level. The main character ignores the old man
and even thinks he's weak (4) This shows that the main character has
too little respect for his situation, which is one reason he is doomed.

Answer:

Number 3 will be your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which one clearly supports details and evidence. Number 3 uses words such as, "for example," adding to the details and evidence. They clearly talk about these 2 details. Hope this helps :)
