"Community service requirements are beneficial, nurturing young people’s interests and civic consciences." provides an effective claim for this prompt.
Explanation:
The statement "Some students enjoy serving senior citizens of the community at local retirement homes." defines a generalized argument which will not be an effective prompt in any presentation. The same goes to all the other statements except the selected answer. As that statement may sound like a generalized statement but it implies the necessity of the community service hours. Whereas the rest of the statement sounds like a cause and effect strategy. The complete meaning can be conveyed through this statement "Community service requirements are beneficial, nurturing young people’s interests and civic consciences.". Thereby providing an effective claim for the prompt.
