Choose 2, 3 and 4.

- 2 (holds interest): Yes — examples make abstract or dull material more engaging and relatable.
- 3 (shows understanding): Yes — well-chosen examples demonstrate the writer’s command of the idea.
- 4 (improves understanding): Yes — examples clarify and concretize difficult points so readers grasp them more fully.

1 is not a good reason: length alone is not valuable — extra words should serve clarity or engagement, not just increase word count.
