Which sentences give facts, descriptions & examples that help readers understand the main idea?

• A. Supporting Details
• B. Summary
• C. Theme
• D. Procedural

Answer: (A)

Supporting details provide the facts, descriptions, and examples that clarify and expand the main idea. They give specific information that helps readers grasp the central point by showing what it means in concrete terms. A summary would restate ideas in fewer words, without adding new information. A theme is the broader message or lesson the author wants to convey, not the specific evidence that explains the main idea. Procedural refers to the steps or processes for doing something, not to explaining or illustrating the main idea with facts and descriptions.
