Question

literary analysis: cite evidence
what is a claim?
claim = statement + arguable

• \arguable\ means something that can be argued for or against.
• if someone can easily agree or disagree with a statement, then it is arguable.
• \arguable\ means the statement is opinion based and not based on fact.

what is a evidence?
evidence = proof; support the claim
in order for evidence to be taken seriously it has to be relevant and strong
relevant - directly connected to the claim
strong - best option to support claim
how do you cite textual evidence?
cite - to refer back to
textual - comes from what we read
evidence - proof/support of claim
claim is foundation for every literary analysis
must maintain credibility of claim by having good textual evidence
use explicit textual evidence
explicit means it is exactly what we read
quotes
passages
lines
what is evidence?
proof that supports the claim
a statement of opinion that supports the claim
any statement about the claim

Explanation:

The left - hand side of the image defines evidence as "proof; support the claim" and mentions that for evidence to be taken seriously, it has to be relevant and strong. The first option on the right - hand side, "proof that supports the claim", aligns with the definition of evidence provided. The second option, "a statement of opinion that supports the claim" is incorrect because evidence should be based on facts (as per the definition of "arguable" in the claim section, which implies that claims are opinion - based and evidence should support them, but evidence itself is not an opinion). The third option, "any statement about the claim" is too broad as it doesn't specify that it should be proof or support.

Answer:

proof that supports the claim
