During this time in history, gays and lesbians were discriminated and arrested by the government and people. Being gay or lesbian was once labeled a mental issue. Even during one of the world wars when the American forces were trying to figure out German transmissions, a gay scientist was put in jail even after figuring out German transmissions.


  It could be either B or C. But it's more likely B since not many were arrested.

Which of the following is another term for claim in argumentative writing?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Thesis statement.

Explanation:

An argumentative writing can be defined as an expression of a writer's position (stance) on a subject matter or topic. Therefore, when writers engage in an argument or write an argumentative essay, they make use of a claim to state or express their opinions about the subject matter or topic.

A claim can be defined as a statement that is used by a writer to prove, substantiate or support an argument. Thus, a claim is an assertive statement expressed by a writer to prove that an argument is true or real.

This ultimately implies that, when writers engage in an argument or write an argumentative essay, they make use of a claim to state or express their opinions about the subject matter or topic.

Also, a thesis statement is a brief, concise summary of a claim or main idea stated in a literary work. It is usually written at the conclusion (tail end) of an introduction in an article.

Hence, a thesis statement is another term for claim in argumentative writing.

maksim [4K]
Precedent means "a decision that can be legally used due to the current situation"

For example, in the US constitution:
1) "The Ratification of the Conventions of 9 states, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the states so ratifying the Same"
- It is already ratified, and so we don't really need it

2) "All debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the adoption of this constitution, shall be as valid against the US under this Constitution, as under the Confederation"
-Again, it is already ratified, note that it says "before the adoption"

3) "No person held to Service or Labour in One state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labour, but shall be delivered up on claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due".
- We really don't need this anymore, because we don't have slavery

hope this helps
