Answer 1

"She vacuumed the living room and dusted the furniture" is not a supporting detail.

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

• Supporting detail is an explanation that provides information based on facts, reasons, or evidence related to a paragraph.
• It comprises examples, actions, or steps that describe the main idea.
• Minor details are very important in a paragraph as they develop a clear and precise idea about the main thing, event, or happening.
