Answer:
THE JUNK
In a non-descript town, Adam sat across a chair in a bar sipping whiskey and looking for a su cker who he can make a quick cash off. Adam has always been the rough, brawny type who has never done any honest job in his life, because according to him, the only money to be made was easy money.
As Adam was thinking, a man and woman walked into the bar and appeared to be arguing about something. He ignored them, even though he noted the girl was good looking, but he resumed his solemn thoughts as he ordered a refill.
The man came and sat two chairs away from Adam and ordered a glass of bourbon while the girl stormed out after another argument. Two drinks later and the man was already drunk and was talking his head off to Adam. He was on a treasure hunt with the girl and they discovered some worthless junk, but from the description, Adam immediately realized that what the man found was very valuable indeed.
Adam persuaded the man to show him where it was and when he saw it and confirmed his suspicion, he immediately offered $50 for the 'junk' so the man wouldn't get suspicious and after some haggling he parted with $60 for the 'junk'. Adam could scarcely believe his luck as the 'junk' was actually worth over $6,000 and went home happily, whistling. No better money to make than easy money.
Claims and support are related because claims are statements that are made by authors in relation to some subject matter that are backed up by "support" or evidence. Therefore, based upon these options, "An author will use support to back up a claim." This claim and support are what authors use to create arguments in writing to make a point and to express a perspective on a particular issue.
