read the paragraph from a research - based essay. humor is part of everyday life, but what each individual thinks is funny differs. in one study, dr. sara reed found that \each person’s taste in humor is based on their own real - life experiences. humor derives from one’s unique background knowledge.\ this means that what makes me laugh may not make you laugh.
which component is needed to make this an effective body paragraph?
○ topic sentence
○ parenthetical citation
○ operational definition
○ supporting evidence

Explanation:

To determine the needed component, analyze the paragraph: it has a topic sentence (introduces humor's subjectivity), a parenthetical citation (Dr. Sara Reed), and an operational definition - adjacent idea (explains humor's origin). What's missing is supporting evidence (specific examples/data to back the claim about humor's subjectivity).

Answer:

supporting evidence
