This should be in the form of a quote (with a citation) or specific examples from the text. If it is not a text-based question, then you must use data from your own readings, observations, or personal experiences. Explanation / Support - Connect the data to the claim. How does your data prove/support your claim? Elaborate as needed. Conclusion - Make a concluding statement to bring your answer to an end.
