cite - to refer back to
textual - comes from what we read
evidence - proof/support of claim
claim is foundation for every literary analysis

passages
lines

what is evidence?
any statement about the claim
proof that supports the claim
a statement of opinion that supports the claim

Explanation:

The text clearly states "Evidence = proof; support the claim". Option B directly aligns with this definition. Option A is too vague as not any statement about the claim is evidence. Option C is incorrect as evidence is based on proof (not just opinion) as per the text which differentiates "arguable" (opinion - based) from evidence (proof - based).

Answer:

B. proof that supports the claim
