  • During the early modern period, the economy, as well as trade and transportation, were advanced enough that foreign trade became commonplace. This was a new development, and it allowed large numbers of people in the West to have access to goods from "exotic" places. These were often bought by the upper classes as a sign of wealth, status and sophistication.
  • These claims were usually directed towards the other members of society, in particular the other members of the upper classes. People who acquired these goods for status were often competing with others in order to achieve more status and importance in their social groups.
  • Objects in private settings were usually connected to the wealth and importance of their owners. Also, these were often shown only to acquaintances and other members of the same social class. On the other hand, goods that were acquired for public display were usually connected to the wealth of the country at large (especially in comparison to other countries).

Which statement is an example of an effective claim for an argumentative essay?
Damm [24]

The correct answer is D. I believe the federal government should not tax its citizens more than they can afford to pay.

Explanation:

The purpose of arguing in a text such as an essay or a speech is to prove through reasons and evidence specific point of view or perspective. Due to this, the main claim should express a point of view.

This does not occur in the first three options because these express facts or reality and due to this, it is not possible to try to prove these. However, the last option "I believe the federal government should not tax its citizens more than they can afford to pay" expresses a specific perspective that can be explained through evidence, and therefore it is appropriate to develop an argumentative text.
