Question

Which statement is an effective claim?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Traditional schools should allow students to attend online courses.

Explanation:

An effective claim is a statement that shows the position rather than the opinion of someone towards some issue or topic in a complete and logical way. Because of this claims should not include only facts or opinions such as "I think" or "I believe"; should be specific which means they should address a specific point of a bigger topic and should be debatable, which means they are not held as truths but they need to be supported with the evidence to be valid. Considering this, the statement that is an effective claim is "Traditional schools should allow students to attend online courses" because this statement is not a fact or opinion, also, this is debatable as the author will need to provide reasons and evidence and it is specific as it addresses a specific point in the role of traditional schools.
