Finding Proof in the Passage

Supporting evidence is information in the passage that backs up the main idea or answers. It can be facts, examples, quotes, or statistics.

How to Spot Evidence

• Look for words like "for example," "such as," or "because."
• Highlight or underline sentences that explain or prove a point.

Using Evidence to Answer Questions

Questions may ask you to choose the best evidence for a statement or to explain why an answer is correct. Always refer back to the text.
