Question

What is the function of a claim in an argument

Answer 1

A claim is the main argument. A counterclaim is the opposite of the argument, or the opposing argument. A reason tells why the claim is made and is supported by the evidence. Evidence is the facts or research to support your claim

Answer 2

The claim is usually defined as your belief, like what you think it is. Example: I believe that all spiders are bad, but on the other hand... something like this i think. I hope this helps you.
