Writers provide support for a text analysis primarily by using evidence. This evidence can include direct quotes from the text, summaries of key points, and references to broader contexts that help to substantiate their interpretations and claims. While forming new ideas, asking questions, and stating opinions can play important roles in analysis, it is the use of concrete evidence that primarily lends credibility and support to the claims made in the analysis.
