On warm summer days, I like to stay cool by making fruit salad. First, I peel and cut up the fruit. Then I put the fruit into a
large bowl and add a little lemon juice. This keeps the fruit from turning brown. I also add a little bit of honey to make the salad sweet. Lastly, I mix everything together and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour. Then the fruit salad is ready to eat! Which type of supporting detail is missing from this paragraph?
information about when the writer likes to make fruit salad
information about the type of fruit the writer uses to make fruit salad
information about how to make fruit salad
information about why the writer makes fruit salad
The correct answer is: information about the type of fruit the writer uses to make fruit salad
.
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the author tells us when and why he likes to make fruit salad. He provides a step by step description about how to make fruit salad. However, he forgot to mention which type of fruit he/she used to make fruit salad.
The missing supporting detail is very important to the readers, as it contains the most important information about ingredients which are used to make a fruit salad. Without this detail, the story loses its relevance and becomes incomplete and incomprehensible for the readers.
