Question

How does the author use details and evidence to support their central idea?

Answer 1

Details, major and minor, support the main idea by telling how, what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. Locating the topic, main idea, and supporting details helps you understand the point(s) the writer is attempting to express.

Answer 2

is this a general question for all authors, or was there supposed to be something attached?
