Which is true about supporting details?

2 answers:

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.

1. Justin is a stock clerk at the local grocery store. Justin does only what he is told to do, no

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

1.) I wouldn't go as far to say he has a good attitude, but he does the bare minimum. He works, does everything he has to, and if that's all that matters to him, that's that. He's not negatively affecting anyone else or being inconsiderate.

2.) I would have owned up to it and cleaned it up myself instead of letting everyone else do the work. Also, I hope Justin didn't ignore he boxes even after telling someone else. As much as I hate when my parents use this kind of excuse when it comes to cleaning the house, it was his part to pitch in and help everyone too, regardless if he made the mess or not.

3.) It wasn't right for Justin to argue. I can understand wanting to be right in a situation, but they should've just worked it out in a calmer manner. If they really couldn't come to terms about it, why not just ask another co-worker or even the supervisor?

4.) Justin was completely in the wrong. He shouldn't have listened to the conversation in the first place, let alone tell everyone. It wasn't his place at all especially since it was <em>personal</em>. The only situation in which this probably wouldn't be as bad is if one of the people were planning on hurting someone else, as telling everyone would be for the sake of the safety of the group or someone else.

5.) I think Justin was definitely reprimanded and given a warning. It's wrong to tell events from a personal conversation so casually and act like he didn't do anything bad there.

6.) Based on Justin's previous incidents, I'd tell him to be more considerate of the group. He has to contribute as well, and even if he disagrees with someone, he still has to be respectful. And speaking of consideration and respect, listening in on that conversation and telling everyone was probably the worst thing he did. Even if he couldn't have gotten out of that situation, he was not in the position to go off rambling to everybody else.

Explanation:

I really hope there aren't right or wrong answers for some of these as some of these seem opinionated and I don't want to cause you to get a bad grade, but I tried my best!
