Details

A detail is a specific fact. It may be an example or a statement to support the main idea.

Details usually occur after a main idea in a reading passage.

Answers to questions about details may require specific information about who, what, when, where, why, how, how much, or how many, etc.

In reading for details, use your scanning skills, that is, examine hastily the text.
