I say D. when using an ellipsis, it should first of all be used in the quote. in D it is not used in the quote, but is used before, which is incorrect as far as i know.

An ellipsis is used incorrectly in sentence D, "Abigail confessed that she..."loved the novel by Jane Austen more than the novel by Mark Twain."

An ellipsis (or three dots) is used to delete unimportant information. In sentence D the elipsis is not necessary because the speaker is not eliminating anything from the quote. In options A and C, the ellipsis is at the end, symbolizing that there is more to the quote than what is written. Also, in option B, the speaker is eliminating the first names of the author. While the sentence would be fine without the ellipsis, it is not incorrect.

The statement about melatonin as the chemical that regulates the sleep and wake cycle is the supporting detail. Thus, option D supports the main idea of the passage.

<h3>What is a supporting detail?</h3>

Supporting detail is a statement that includes the data that are well researched and have examples and detailed descriptions that support the central idea that serves the purpose of the essay.

The main idea is the central thought that the passage wants to deliver to its reader and is supported by the details that clarify the idea about the topic.

Here the main idea is about the sleep cycle that is regulated by the hormone melatonin released by the brain. It balances the sleep and the wake cycle of the person and varies with the age. Its release controls the sleep pattern and regulates the best function of the body.

Therefore, the release of melatonin best supports the idea of the passage.

belka [17]
The t-shirt that they give only to people who finish is a big reason that so many people take up the challenging race. 


This paraphrase presents the same information as in the sentence, but since it should be a bit more of a summary, it takes out the specific detail of how many people actually run the race, which can just be paraphrased into 'so many'.
