kupik [55]
I used to have a teacher who said this as well. The best way to understand would be to show examples of how to specify such terms as “stuff” and “things”. For instance: “The birds have lots of stuff.” That was not clear because the reader does not know what the “stuff” is. Instead, the text could be changed to: “The birds have lots of feathers.” Now the reader knows what the stuff is because it has been replaced with a more specific word. If you go over multiple examples in your head, it will become easier to comprehend and you will get used to doing it.

Answer:

A map of Africa

Explanation:

Including a map of Africa with this text would provide the best support for the details in the excerpt. In this text, we learn about the journey that Livingstone was going to undergo in Africa. Livingstone was going to explore the East side of the continent, and travel 260 miles upriver to the town of Tete. The reader would most benefit from a map in which he could trace Livingstone's journey.
