A supporting detail has the function of literally adding weight to a claim and convincing an audience that the idea being expressed, whatever it may be, is the correct one. It is literally a backing-up technique that will help the writer stress the truthfulness of his/her statement and substracting the possibility of the claim being denied or found untrue. A supporting detail must always be connected to the main idea or claim, otherwise, it might even become a deafeating factor in itself. Because supporting factors are simply a way to add information to a main statement, underline the importance of the main statement, or even prove that the main statement is correct. The correct answer is B. This is because in the case of supporting details, all of them must be related to the main point, or they become just facts and do not add anything to the statement.

The answer is "Irrelevant details are unrelated to the point the author is making"

Irrelevant means it doesn't support the argument, and a good reader should be able to distinguish between the two.

Which statement best describes how the structure of these excerpts helps to develop the themes? The refrains of "An Irish Airman
marishachu [46]
In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.

The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>
