Answer 2

Answer:

Hi! The answer you're looking for would be option 4: Add detail that the author did not include but which you, the critic, know should be included in the story, poem, or play.

Explanation:

When using literary material as evidence to support your argument, you cannot add a detail that the author did not include but which you, the critic, know should be included in the story, poem, or play

This is because, if you are using a literary material as evidence, only evidence found in that literary piece will be acceptable to make an argument. In this case, adding something that is not stated in such literary material would not be valid as you would be the one arguing what you added instead of being something that the author believed or stated.
