The phrase which defines “pretensions” best is claims of importance.
<em>Pretensions</em> refer to the form of more serious or of being more important than the actual reason. Also, pretensions may refer to a belief or claim that you have serious value and are important.
<u>For example:</u>
It sounds pretentious that the current government will work for the people after the next elections.
I believe that racism still exists because we were so used to shunning people of different races. When we had slaves and Abraham Lincoln put the Emancipation Proclamation in place the south was mad because that was how they made income, and it's not like we're going to get over the fact that they were once slaves. How are we supposed to treat people like human beings when they were just our slaves? I think that we have to start by showing others that we're all equal, we need to have them accept that fact that there is going to eventually be change.
here you go your answer dear friend
