Answer:
"I realized that no one in the world could equal her."
Explanation:
"The Pillow Book" by Sei Shonagon provides a detailed account of life in the Court of Japanese royalty during the eleventh century. The book serves as an impressive insight into the life of palace royalty, infused with lively gossip, lively observations, and also brought forth the genre of "assorted writing" in literature.
The narrator/ speaker describes what she saw on the Empress and Shigei Sha. She admits that the<em> "Shigei Sha . . . was magnificent, . . . [and] extraordinarily pretty"</em>. But to her, the Empress, with <em>"her tranquil expression, her charming features which had recently taken on a more adult cast, and her complexion which went so beautifully with her scarlet clothes, </em><u><em>I realized that no one in the world could equal her.</em></u><em>"
</em>
This supports her conclusion that she was more impressed with the Empress.

Hi!
The correct options would be Direct Quotations and Paraphrasing.
Textual evidence refers to those lines or statements that substantiate a claim. In our case, while analyzing a literary piece, we can incorporate direct quotations, or paraphrase particular lines from the essay that support our argument or opinion.
Direct quotations are lines cited unaltered directly from the essay, and are incorporated between quotation marks. This is the most effective form of textual evidence.
Paraphrasing entails that the same idea, fact or message conveyed by the author in the essay are mentioned in the analysis in one's own words.
The thesis statement is clearly defines the topic of the analysis and all the textual evidence must be presented in a way to support it. It, itself, cannot be textual evidence.
The summary of the plot would be the brief account of the essay, and may not necessarily be as effective in proving a claim, and does not qualify as effective textual evidence when analyzing a literary essay.
Similarly the biography of the author may or may not relate to the literary essay, and is hardly used as textual evidence.
Hope this helps.
