| Cite specific textual evidence | All claims, assertions, or arguments about what a text means or says require evidence from within the text itself, not the reader's opinion or experience; students should be able to quote or refer to a specific passage from the text to support their idea. |
| Evidence that most strongly supports an analysis | Evidence, in general, includes facts, data, quotations, and any other sources of data that support the claims writers make; in this case, however, it refers to only that evidence that "MOST STRONGLY SUPPORTS AN ANALYSIS." |
| Support analysis | This is related to "citing textual evidence." This phrase requires readers to back up their claims about what a text says with evidence, such as examples, details, or quotations. |
| Explicitly | This refers to anything clearly stated in great or precise detail; it may suggest factual information or literal meaning, though not necessarily the case. |
| Drawing inferences | to understand the text by generalizing, deducing, and concluding from reasoning and evidence that is not presented literally or explicitly. This is based on textual clues. |
| Logical inferences | To infer, readers add what they learned from the text to what they already know about the subject. It must be based on evidence from the text. |
