The true statement about analyzing a literary text is:

Readers can use both explicit details and details that lead to inferences to support their analysis of a text.

This statement reflects the understanding that analysis can be enhanced by using direct textual evidence (explicit details) as well as interpretations that arise from the reading (inferences). The other statements are inaccurate in various ways regarding the role of text evidence in literary analysis.
