Question

Which claim is arguable? A. There are more Democrats than Republicans in Congress. B. Senators should not have term limits. C. The Constitution divides powers between the federal government and state governments. D. The United States has 50 states.

Answer 1

Answer:

The claim that is arguable is B: Senators should not have term limits.

Explanation:

I chose B because it is the only claim that contains a personal opinion. All the others are facts: there are more Democrats that Republicans in Congress, the Constitution divides powers between the federal government and state governments, and the United States has 50 states. All of these are facts, but the second one (B) is a personal opinion, and we realize that when reading the word should, therefore is arguable because another person might have a different opinion about the same subject.
