A supporting detail is used to validate a claim to prove that the claim is indeed true.

A claim on the other hand is a statement made by an author about something which can either be true or false.

Let me give you an example of a claim and how supporting details can be used:

All tall boys are smarter than shorter boys
America has a population of 30 million people
The Earth is round

Now, because i made these claims, i have to provide supporting details to backup this claim.

To do this, i would have to bring reputable sources which contains the figures which would be my supporting details.

I could bring the population figures from an independent reliable source to prove that America indeed has a population of 30 million people.

Please note that your question is incomplete which made me to give you a general overview so that you can understand the concept.

Which quotation from "The Black Cat" best supports the idea that the narrator is tormented by the cat?

BARSIC [14]

<span>Option D is the correct choice. It indicates, better than the other options, how the narrator is unable to enjoy a simple nights rest. The usage of "alas" shows that this was the final straw in the torment, not being able to sleep anymore. Compared to option A where the narrator is still able to state clearly that they are not mad. Option B only shows a dislike which doesn't stress the torment requirement from the question. Option C does show torment but it more so indicates the early stages of this happening.</span>
