FAQs

How do you support an answer? ›

You include information and ideas from the reading. You add your own ideas. You can use your own experience to answer the question. So you should cite information from the passage in your response PLUS your own ideas based on what you knew before you read the passage.

Types of support include the writer or speaker's own personal opinions, opinions from experts, logical explanations, examples, reasons, statistics, names and dates. In the reading and listening parts of PTE, you will be required to locate supporting points and specific information to answer many test items.

Having a question that you don't know the answer to can be frustrating. Luckily, you can use a variety of different tools to solve your inquiry. Depending on the question, you can use a search engine, conduct extensive research, or contact a professional. Before long, you'll be that much closer to finding the answer.

So, Google doesn't have all the answers. If you want to know how it has so many answers, it's because it's constantly collecting information from hundreds of millions of web sites. It parses the data, and it builds an index.

Say "Hey Google" or press the button to talk to your Google Assistant. Then say a command.

A main idea is the main point a writer wants the reader to come away with. Supporting details are the information, facts, or points of discussion the writer gives to tell more about this main idea.

What is text evidence to support your answer? ›

The best text evidence is clear, specific, and directly related to your claim. Look for examples that clearly support your point and are easy to understand. Use quotes. When possible, use direct quotes from the text to support your claim.

One helpful way of providing evidence is by quoting directly from the text. You should then explore why the quote you have chosen is relevant to your answer. You may also want to analyse how the language, and/or imagery used adds further emphasis to the argument you are highlighting within the text.

Show you're listening by summarizing what they said back to them and ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation going. Vocalize your support: If someone you know is going through a tough time, like Recovery, you may want to make your encouragement explicit.

Strong and thorough evidence supports an argument or “claim,” providing explanation in the form of quotes, statistics, personal reflections, and observations, to name a few.
