- (Key Ideas and Details) Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
-(Key Ideas and Details) Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.
-(Craft and Structure) Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone.
-(Craft and Structure) Analyze how a particular sentence, chapter, scene, or stanza fits into the overall structure of a text and contributes to the development of the theme, setting, or plot.
