Explanation:

1. Evidence in writing should be reliable. Facts and examples are reliable forms of evidence. Unverified claims are not good evidence, general observations can be too broad, and personal stories may lack objectivity.
2. A thesis statement outlines the main argument of a piece of writing. It is not for introducing the audience, listing evidence in detail, or just providing background information.
3. Integrating evidence into writing strengthens arguments by providing support and credibility. It is not mainly to lengthen the text, make it informal, or summarize ideas.
4. Explaining evidence shows how it relates to the thesis. Adding a topic or sentence - level cohesion doesn't directly connect evidence to a thesis, and using a qualifier is not the main way to connect evidence.
5. The body of an essay includes evidence to support the thesis.
