    Textual evidence refers to quotes or details taken directly from a text that are used to support an answer or idea. Evidence matters because it backs up claims and shows why someone should believe a certain argument or perspective. The document then provides examples of textual evidence phrases that can be used, such as "because", "for instance", "for example", "according to the text", and "from the reading", followed by a quote or detail from the text that supports the statement made.
