Question

1. if you were making a claim about the mental state of a character in a story, what types of evidence would you need to provide?

○ opinions and research
○ biographical details about the author
○ quotes and examples
○ analytical statements about the story structure

Explanation:

To support a claim about a character's mental state in a story, we need evidence from the text. Quotes and examples from the story (dialogue, actions, thoughts of the character) directly show the character's mental state. Opinions and research are subjective or external, biographical details about the author don't relate to the character's mental state, and analytical statements about story structure don't focus on the character's mental state. So quotes and examples are the right evidence.

Answer:

B. quotes and examples
