The correct answer is option 3: specific and observable facts that help with understanding.
To determine the correct answer, you can go through each option and analyze its relevance to the concept of concrete details.
Option 1 suggests "words that illustrate an idea," which may be too general and could include both concrete and abstract details. This answer does not specifically address the requirement of being specific and observable.
Option 2 mentions "exact words taken from a speech or text," which refers to direct quotations but does not necessarily describe concrete details. This option focuses more on the accuracy of the words rather than their concreteness or observability.
Option 3 states "specific and observable facts that help with understanding," which aligns with the definition of concrete details. Concrete details are specific and tangible information that can be observed or experienced. This option clearly describes the characteristics of concrete details, making it the correct choice.
Option 4 mentions "exact meanings of all the key words in a text," which is unrelated to the concept of concrete details. This answer refers to interpreting the definitions of key words in a text, rather than providing specific and observable facts.
Therefore, when considering all the options, option 3 - "specific and observable facts that help with understanding" - is the most appropriate description of concrete details.
