In a literary analysis, a statement is true when it is:
B. The statement is supported with facts or inferences.
In literary analysis, statements made about a text should be based on evidence from the text itself, such as specific details, events, or quotations, or on inferences drawn from the text. These pieces of evidence support the interpretation or claim being made in the analysis, making the statement valid and reliable. Personal opinions or emotional appeals are not sufficient to make a statement true in a literary analysis; it requires evidence and support from the text.
