Explanation:

Strong, specific, and relevant supporting evidence provides detailed and pertinent information. Here, details about David Capuzzo's actions like seeing the man on the tracks and his description of the man's state ("hunched - over", "wobbling") are directly related to the event in question. His initial inaction and later reaction when he heard the ladies yell also contribute to understanding the sequence of events.

Answer:

"Capuzzo saw the man on the tracks. 'He was hunched over,' he said. 'He's kind of, like, wobbling.'", "Then: 'I heard all those ladies yell.'", "I see the guy," he said later. "I pictured myself helping him, but I didn't. I just kept looking back at him and looking at everybody else look at him." Eventually he lost interest. "I got caught up on my phone."
