Explanation:

Evidence refers to the hints, clues, or direct statements an author makes that a reader can use to support or defend his or her interpretations of the text. Readers should not make assertions about a text that cannot be supported by textual evidence. An author should not make claims without providing evidence if he or she wants to successfully convince the reader of something.
