Answer 2

In the body paragraphs, the writer should provide supporting evidence.

Option (2) is correct.

Explanation:

• While writing an essay, a writer builds an outline of the whole topic and summarizes it.
• After that in the body paragraph, the writer should provide pieces of evidence if he is supporting the genre or opposing the genre.
• In both cases, evidence should be provided.
• Without evidence, a statement or idea becomes vague or unclear. It remains unsupportive by the readers as well.
