The correct answer is "to give information about topics related to the main topic." Supporting details in a text are additional pieces of information that support, elaborate, or provide evidence for the main idea or central theme of the text. They help the reader gain more understanding and clarification about the main topic by providing specific examples, facts, statistics, anecdotes, or explanations that expand upon or relate to the main idea. These details help to strengthen the overall argument or message of the text and provide additional context or evidence to support the central idea. To identify the supporting details in a text, it is helpful to look for specific examples, evidence, or explanations that provide more information about the main topic.
