Question

What is the meaning of supported as it is used in this sentence from the passage?

(However, this is a theory that has yet to be supported with historical evidence.)

1. Proven
2. Carried
3. Encouraged
4. Maintained

Answer 1

I believe it's option number 3.

That's what I'm guessing because I don't know if the sentence in the parentheses is the passage you're referring to.
