ACT Preparation / Unit 5 ACT 0410 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Good and Weak Support
Captions available
The idea
Good support is relevant and focused, well developed, specific and organized. Weak support lacks a clear connection to its point, stays vague, or seems disjointed.
In practice
"Attendance rose eight percent" is specific; "things got better" is vague.
Where people slip
Ask of each detail: what point does this prove, and does it prove it precisely?
