On warm summer days, I like to stay cool by making fruit salad. First, I peel and cut up the fruit. Then I put the fruit into a large bowl and add a little lemon juice. This keeps the fruit from turning brown. I also add a little bit of honey to make the salad sweet. Lastly, I mix everything together and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour. Then the fruit salad is ready to eat!

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author tells us when and why he likes to make fruit salad. He provides a step by step description about how to make fruit salad. However, he forgot to mention which type of fruit he/she used to make fruit salad.

The missing supporting detail is very important to the readers, as it contains the most important information about ingredients which are used to make a fruit salad. Without this detail, the story loses its relevance and becomes incomplete and incomprehensible for the readers.
