Hello. You did not provide the excerpt to which this question refers and did not enter answer options, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question.
However, to find out which of the answer options show the main claim of the passage first, you must read the entire passage and understand what the main topic being discussed is. The theme is the main claim of the passage and among the answer options, the one that represents this theme is the sentence that answers your question.
I hope it helped you.
Answer:
B. Fact
Explanation:
The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>
The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."
So, this explains the answer.
