5. How does the author support their central idea regarding arranged marriages?

The passage is “Would You
Marry A Stranger?” I am reading it from Common Lit.

Love emerges over time, arranged marriages might seem unfamiliar and strange to certain people, but they are actually fairly common around the world and have many individual and social benefits. The author explains that arranged marriages have many benefits to them like how arranged marriage usually has practical benefits as well. Parents will select a richer man for their daughter to marry to ensure her financial security and social standing. In many cultures, the right marriage can even raise the status of a whole family. Marriages can also be political actions, whether they further the family’s position in politics, establish political alliances for the future, or smooth over some past conflicts. Poverty sometimes necessitates an arranged marriage  when the parents can no longer afford to care for their own daughter.  Arranged marriage has many benefits to it.

Explanation: Not sure if this is correct, but this is what I wrote ! :)
