Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

All this standard wants is for students to be able to intelligently talk about a book by backing up what they're saying with sensible quotes. The biggest part of the standard is choosing the correct quotes for the job; too often students will have to stretch the meaning of the quotes they choose to fit the topic they're writing about, and that's a no-no. Their analyses don't have to be super in-depth—for example, students don't have to conduct a thorough study on every single passage about choices in Holes (which is more of a high school standard thing); they just have to pick a handful of parts that support their analysis.
