ciara: lets look at my response.
What is Gaul? Answer: Gaul is the area of Western Europe that Rome governed for 500 years (remember the US is just 200 years old). It was divided into three parts: This side of the Alps, the other side of the Alps, and "long-haired areas" Northern Europe, where it got cold.
All of Gaul is divided...means broken down into parts...

The number of supporting details you should develop to back up your thesis can vary depending on the complexity of your topic and the length of your essay or research paper. However, there is no fixed rule for the exact number of supporting details. It ultimately depends on the strength and relevance of the evidence you have to support your thesis.
That being said, both options A and C could potentially be correct. Developing three supporting details can be sufficient for shorter papers or essays, while developing four or more details may be more appropriate for longer and more complex papers.
It's important to consider the depth and comprehensiveness of your supporting details. While having more details can provide a stronger argument, make sure each detail strengthens your thesis and helps to convince your audience of your main point. Quality and relevance are more important than quantity.
In conclusion, it's essential to carefully consider and plan your supporting details based on the requirements of your assignment, the complexity of your topic, and the strength of your evidence. There is no definitive answer as to how many supporting details you should develop, as it ultimately depends on the specific context and requirements of your paper.
