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.
"What would happen to America's economy (and its spirit) when high schooler students can no longer work at restaurants? "A teenager behind the wheel is the symbol of America youth," writes author Peter Chacha. What will happen to this symbol if Representant Weaver's plan is approved?" <em>Those lines manifest a broad approach (America's economy and symbol), a generalization of the original topic: safety.</em>
