In an interpretive literary essay, what is the purpose of commentary in body paragraphs?

C

Commentary ensures that evidence properly fits into a paragraph.

C

Commentary explains how evidence supports the writer's viewpoints.

C

Commentary introduces the reasons for the writer’s thesis and viewpoint.

Explanation

Commentary interprets evidence by explaining what it means and how it supports the paragraph’s claim and the essay’s viewpoint. For example, after using a quotation, the writer connects its details to the argument rather than leaving the reader to make that connection. Choice B describes the role of organizing evidence, while D describes introducing reasons, not explaining evidence.
