Questions: Why is evaluating evidence an important part of making an inference when reading a literary text? (1 point) All implied details in a literary text support a logical inference. Literary authors rarely use implied details that require an inference. Solid evidence is needed to support a logical inference. An inference requires the support of explicit evidence.

The answer is: Solid evidence is needed to support a logical inference.

Explanation for each option:

1. All implied details in a literary text support a logical inference.
   This statement is incorrect because not all implied details necessarily support a logical inference. Implied details can be ambiguous or open to interpretation, and they may not always lead to a single logical conclusion.

2. Literary authors rarely use implied details that require an inference.
   This statement is incorrect because literary authors often use implied details to enrich their narratives and engage readers in deeper analysis. Inferences are a common part of interpreting literature.

3. Solid evidence is needed to support a logical inference.
   This statement is correct. When making an inference, it is important to base it on solid evidence from the text. This ensures that the inference is logical and well-supported, rather than speculative or unfounded.

4. An inference requires the support of explicit evidence.
   This statement is partially correct but misleading in the context of the question. While explicit evidence can support an inference, inferences often rely on a combination of explicit and implied details. The key is that the evidence, whether explicit or implied, should be solid and relevant.
