Answer 1

A. Readers analyze the details explicitly stated in a text to make an inference.

Textual evidence provides specific information or clues that help readers draw conclusions or make educated guesses about what is not explicitly stated in the text. By analyzing the details that are explicitly stated, readers can make logical inferences about the author's intended meaning or the characters' motivations and actions.
